The proceeding presupposes that the parties will not be able to come to an agreement on their own, with or without a mediator's help, and that instead the arbitrator has to step in, and, based on the evidence, impose a contract.
in short, the two week schedule is a period in which both sides will be presenting their case, rather than negotiating per se.

So, any conclusion thus far is premature. And something tells me Mr Whitaker might know a thing or two about premature problems.

I mean, you're such a company guy, the arbitration route was the best way to go for people like you. Why knock it so hard now?
But if you're miserable now, just wait a few more months when you're sending your dues to 2750. It just gets better.
