No, pompous works though. If you base who you will accept information from on how they talk or pronounce words. I got a cousin, who hasn't seen the inside of an educational building since the 7th grade, sounds like an inbred walk on from "Deliverance," and has forgotten more about cars than the engineers who build them know. He has an inate sense of mechanics and machines, yet uses words like, "That there dohicky over yonder" when pointing out something under the hood.
Personally, I don't think it really matters if you can properly spell or pronounce the guy's name or not. The APA is gonna steamroll USAPA in the long run, regardless of any prior deals. After all, nothings really "binding" nowadays.

Sorry about the spelling however I have been around a long time and been involved in 3 major SLI's. I am very aware of the process and how it works. Nicolau will be involved one way or another. If its not used the arbitrator will certainly be aware of what USAIR did in regard to his coworkers ruling and it will have a impact on the final list. If its not used there also will be a lawsuit filed by the USAIR west pilots that could lead to a very long SLI process. You might take a quick look at how many arbitrators are available for a SLI on this level. They are all friends and comrades so to speak. Whoever they get will probably talk quite a bit with Nicolau. The actions of the USAIR east pilots were a direct rebuke of the process and what they do for a living and if the list is not used reduces their authority. USAIR east has been involved in arbitration since they refused Nicolau and they have had their asses handed to them every time. There is a reason.
I'll give you a "get out of jail free" card to kick me in the nuts (cyber style) in the future. I expect you to lie in wait and pounce like a cat in classic fashion at the opportune time.

You, and most guys, forget that it was our transition agreement that allowed the east pilots to do what they did. They could have done it any number of ways, they chose to form a new union and try that road. As of today it has not buried the Nicolau award, but it has prevented it's implementation. Big questions on how that stalemate works with this merger.
We may not make it to arbitration this time. I suspect we will, but it would really serve all out interests to really try and negotiate this.
We'll see how it works out.

Is there a chance those future arbitrators have looked at Nicolau's work and the chaos it has unleashed and said "Wow! He screwed that up. He must be slipping!"?

I'm curious myself to see what path is used to exit this conundrum.

If you can't even get the arbitrators name correct, how much credibility are we supposed to give your assertions ?
It gives the impression you have no clue as to the issues and have never read his rulings. Kinda like going on a classic car forum and pontificating on the virtues of the Shevrollet Corvet.
His name is Nicolau.

Said Mr Pedantic.*
It's a forum board discussion, not a formal disertation. Regardless of spelling a dottering old man's name, if the info is good, it's good.
* I'll save you the trouble of Googling it.
pedanticadjective1. hairsplitting, particular, formal, precise, fussy, picky (informal), nit-picking (informal), punctilious, priggish, pedagogic, anal retentive, overnice all his pedantic quibbles about grammar
2. academic, pompous, schoolmasterly, stilted, erudite, scholastic, didactic, bookish, abstruse, donnish, sententious His lecture was pedantic and uninteresting.
Pedantry is not lost on you.

LoRocco had the same problem with a lot of "La Racca's", etc., and with Bloch, there was even an occasional "Block".
Is it arbitraitors [sic] or pilots ?
