With one exception: Attrition is not a vagary, it's a statistical certainty. The NWA/REP arbitration used the attrition "look ahead" to decide how long the fences should be. With Bloch saying they hoped to craft a list that the pilots could live with now and in the future, it leads me to believe they will look at the attrition equation in any proposal they are contemplating.
