The crux of the problem is the AAA pilots unwillingness to comply with an agreement they made.

ALPA national did not come up with the seniority list, an arbitrator the AAA pilots wanted did. The AAA pilots had unrealistic expectations of stapling the majority of the AWA crewmembers below AAA furloughed pilots. Needless to say, the arbitration did not go their way and now they're trying to back out of a decision they agreed to be bound too.
