so its soley about routes, ie ORD-DAY or something like that in your contract that is the basis for this grievance? Now I totally understand the whole whipsaw protection and wish you luck, however I doubt an arbitrartor is going to make a decision to remove CHQ soley for a whipsaw protection. Now I could be wrong if the contractual language is specifically about routes and not block hours or increase/decreased in total numbers of aircraft.
