Merger committee says "vote yes, the nic is dead"

CLT Chairman says "vote no, the nic is coming"

This should get good.

Has he said why ?

Haven't read the details yet, but if the merger committee is saying the Nic is dead or that USAPA will control its own SLI argument, what is his reasoning ?

He doesn't think the NIC is dead.

Everyone should read the actual PA as it doesn't quite read like USAPA's spin in the email. True, the current status quo is East, West, and American.. not Nicolau. But what the PA does is allow the West to present their issues to an arbitration panel prior to the main SLI arbitration. Surely the West will present the Nic and it's desire for a separate merger committee to this panel. The PA specifically allows for 3 committees if this preliminary arbitration awards it. Nothing is guaranteed on either side. They've put everything in the hands of neutral arbitrators.

There will undoubtedly be naysayers and hardliners on both sides. But if everyone is unhappy.. isn't that the definition of compromise?

When hearing "the NIC is dead", does anyone else think this?



....or is it just me?

I am all for it. Present your case to a panel and lets move on.

Don't care which side wins or if it ends up meeting in the middle. Get it over with!

I think this is a good step. Hardliners will be hardliners regardless but this airline needs to move forward. The ability for all 3 to argue their sides and none to have control over the award is best. Just let the arbitrators do their job, accept it and move the hell on!
