That's odd. I didn't know the NLRB (as a part of the NLRA), got involved with actions involving unions that don't fall under their jurisdiction. I would have thought that it would have been an arbitrator appointed by the NMB, pursuant to an RLA governed union.

Not exactly. ALPA maintains a list of approved independent arbitrators. The two pilot groups could either agree to an arbitrator or they could use alternate strike method (each side eliminates one person, alternating, until only one is left). I believe that the East pilots really wanted Nicolau and they actually delayed the arbitration to accomodate his schedule. Kind of funny that their hand picked guy was then called the "crazy old man" when he didn't rule in their favor. Worst example of leadership I have ever seen.

They have now gotten themselves boxed into a corner where they have perhaps irretrievably split their pilot group. They are unable to obtain any contractual improvements for their pilots. They refuse to honor their committment to the seniority process that THEY AGREED TO. An LCC East A-320 captain makes about $30 an hour less than a Delta A-320 captain. How are they ever going to get another raise unless they accept the integrated seniority list? The one their management has already accepted.
That pretty much makes it the worst example of leadership I have ever seen.

I mentioned the name Leonidas. That is the name of the LLC, comprised of US Airways West pilots, that was formed for the purpose of litigtion against USAPA. You can access their website here. On the website you will see a list of Leonidas objectives that were posted on March 15. Those pretty much sum it all up.
I'm just sayin'...

Both ancient and modern writers have used the Battle of Thermopylae as an example of the power of a patriotic army of freemen defending native soil. The performance of the defenders at the battle of Thermopylae is also used as an example of the advantages of training, equipment, and good use of terrain as force multipliers and has become a symbol of courage against overwhelming odds.
