Is arbitration now acceptable for DALALPA?
So what are you complaining about? Theoretically, you are going to get credit for these retirements in arbitration, right? We are going down the path you wanted: the triggering of ALPA merger policy. You guys will sabotage the negotiations until arbitration is a must, and then a fair list will be decided by an arbitrator. Will you be willing to live with that list, or pull a USAir and sidestep that as well?
