Arbitrators have a pretty solid view on furloughees and where they belong on the list. Just see previous arbitration awards for hints. We have shot ourselves in the foot, thinking we were doing "good" by this MOU, and now this MOU is being used against us. It's putting up in the air the question of Mesaba furloughees, their DOHs, their longevity credit, and it's adding to the continual delay of getting our seniority list out. Word I'm hearing is that Pinnacle badly wants another vacancy out, but was waiting for a list to come out to do it then. Now, who knows how long this debate will last? This week? Next week? A month? More? One could argue our vacancies have been put on hold as long as the ISL is put on hold. All the more reason to blame that MOU.
