Ironically, it was the USAir guys who would not move off their initial proposal or give any alternatives, which seems to be where the DAL guys are seized up. Like the USAir guys, they have now been warned by the arbitrators that it might be poor ground to make a stand.

One of our guys was told by a DAL LEC rep that the DAL side is committed to their proposal as it stands, and anything else would represent a political disaster for their MEC. You pays your dollar and you takes your choice.

Personally, I'm still betting on a negotiated solution.
