quoted from Case 9–CC–1660...
"on August 7 ALPA presented a formal grievance to DHL Holdings. ………The grievance further claimed that ALPA pilots employed by ASTAR should perform all flying for Airborne. ……………ALPA reiterated and made clear its position that only ALPA members employed by ASTAR could fly the freight for Airborne that had previously and was presently being flown by the Teamsters Union flight crews of ABX"
Don't bother tap dancing around it. It doesn't get any clearer than that.

Penguin,
You can go educate yourself, or continue to be ignorant. I gave you the link. Your choice. I'm not going to spoon feed you. Any one who has airline experience knows that there has never been an arbitration award that kills one airline in favor of another. Nor will there ever be. No arbitrator in the land would do that.

quotes from Case 9–CC–1660...
"...We find that the object of the Respondent’s {ALPA} conduct was to require DHL and its subsidiary Airborne to cease doing business with ABX"
“After the merger, the Respondent sought to extend its contractual status as the exclusive source of pilots for DHL to cover both DHL and Airborne”

your ALPA dollars at work
Anybody that has interest can read what ALPA's been up to with DHL here:
http://www.nlrb.gov/nlrb/shared_file...345/345-51.htm
Besides the NLRB decision, this case is also in Federal court, currently in the Ninth Circuit US Court of Appeals.
here's a good summary, quoted from NLRB Case 9–CC–1660:
"The parties’ dispute centers on whose pilots should fly the cargo handled by Airborne, Inc. after its merger with DHL. Prior to the merger, ASTAR (formerly DHL Airways) pilots flew DHL cargo and ABX (formerly Airborne) pilots flew Airborne cargo. After the merger, the Respondent (ALPA)sought to extend its contractual status as the exclusive source of pilots for DHL to cover both DHL and Airborne."
