Just want to make sure opinions are formed off proper facts.
This is correct. The union is as much to blame as management is, at the line pilots expense of course. Management saw their performance numbers go through the roof so decided to stop negotiations and let the arbitration process play out. It's too bad because a mutually beneficial agreement can be attained, it just requires a lot of work and likely a completely new set of rules.
