There is no group talking "staple" unless you feel anything involving DOH is a "staplejob". In that case the definition needs clarification. Keep in mind we all currently dictate our respective seniority lists on DOH. An integration exposes many different factors that require more factors to be in consideration.

It's obvious that all 3 sides have differing opinions, hence the reason as to why the committees didn't find an amicable solution. That's why we have an arbitrator. It's in his hands and while all 3 groups can have convincing arguments, he makes the call. We can all bicker, but we cannot fault each group from protecting their own seniority. We all know the importance of seniority, but there is no gains in trying to rip each other apart. From what I can see on the outside, all 3 groups can be pleased with their MEC's actions towards sli. Withiut question- all 3 MEC's worked for their individual groups. Until we see bloch's award it's all simply rumors, hopes, and fears. You can let your blood pressure boil and bash the keys into expressed emotion OR you can take a chill pill and await the list. I firmly believe that no matter what the list looks like the only person who will be 100% pleased will be #1, everyone else will have an opinion on how it could be better.
