The pilots that lose relative position due to DOH in this scenario, do not lose as much as the pilots would lose if pure relative were implemented.
XJ and 9E that is, Colgan loses alot with straight DOH, but I feel they gained alot just due to the one contract.
You are living in fantasy land. It isn't about what we "favor" one way or another. Look over past arbitrations and use past awards to determine a more likely outcome. Making senoir xj pilots "happy" will not be on the arbitrators to do list. DOH will not be used, just look at recent awards, it doesn't factor much into any of the decisions.
The only scenario I could see doh being a factor would be to sort all captains based on relative senority and all fos by doh. This won't happen though because: 1) it screws the colgan guys that would have ended up better off than xj fos in the same doh and 2) like your assertions, it is based on a feeling of "fairness" that doesn't play into arbitrated decisions.
