And that would be a monstrous win for NWA. Look at the net difference in relative position between the proposals and the opportunistic fence construction. I'm much more comfortable with an arbitrated decision based on recent history (especially Nicolau) than I am surrendering to an illogical position.

Yup, I hope both sides hear that. While the airlines aren't similar at all, the rationale used in the last ALPA case, using the same attorneys, with one party using the same "losing" economic model may give the Delta guys some cheer.

But a "win" for either side is a loss for all of us.
