True dat... I THINK (could be wrong) that the FAA granted the SOC based on USAirways doing everything reasonable to get a single seniority list. The fact that their was an arbitrated list that the PILOTS chose to not accept is responsible for the FAA from deciding that USAirways had done all necessary to obtain the certificate. Without that arbitrated list, I don't think it would have been granted.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that is what my digging shows
