Just because the integration goes to an arbitrator doesn't mean that the arbitrator has to figure out the whole list. It will just be what the merger committees haven't agreed to. Odds are the furloughs will be sorted out before an arbitrator is needed.

And again, whether they are put at the bottom of the active list or they are merged with their XJ seniority won't really change a whole lot. They will still be at the bottom.

God, I swear some of you are worse than kids. So much whining going on. Let's wait and see what the SLI has to offer.

Yeah, then let the whining begin!

Is there going to be a Merger Assessment Fee attached to all this?

Is there going to be a merger?? TA dead equals no SLI!!:eek:

My vote.

2 for 1 method... 2 staples, 1 list. 9L first then XJ... Sorry all you fools but don't forget this is a purchase not a merge. If our union was not so kind this is how it would have been played all along. XJ did it to do us back in the day and would do the same thing again if this was the other way around and no one can deny that.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....ROLL TIDE!!!!:eek:

Wow, are you off in left field. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

You are the vocal minority that embarrass the rest of us.

Be that as it may, I doubt we're gonna be the ones that suddenly turn historical precedent on its ear with the SLI....

It's subjective and depends on where one sits on the seniority list.
