By the way, was the Pan Am and Western integration done by an arbitrator, or was it just agreed to by the parties given that Pan Am and Western were on bankruptcy's doorstep? It's been so long I've forgotten.

That's not the
best definition of successful arbitration, but it sure is a good indicator of poor arbitration if there is grumbling and hard feelings 22 years after the fact. Either those who are whining are habitual complainers, or they have a legitimate gripe. I'm guessing that it's the latter.
Western and Pan Am were both negotiated SLIs.
