Isn't Spirit being compared to Pinnacle and Mesaba a little apples to oranges? I understand it's the same guy but dealing with a major airline is different than a regional airline guys. I believe the unions winning record during arbitration is pretty outstanding, no?

Can always tell who the Pinnacle pilots are in the crowd, they're the first to whine about some perceived injustices during the merger.
As a whole, the Pinnacle MEC was the most dysfunctional clown show going at the time.
Actually, it served me quite well in my Seniority range. I was more concerned about the overall repercussions for my peers. Not crying or whining. Just illustrating past precedent of Arbitrator Bloch’s rulings.

Have fun with your Arbitrated PBS fellas! Don’t forget to throw your peers (Reserve guys) under the bus.

I was just addressing his opinion of Mr. Bloch. Remember, he is a human. His decision can be swayed, consciously or subconsciously, by the behavior of others. The Pinnacle merger committee was a total goat rope. Their behavior probably had some impact on his decision. So when he rules on PBS, presenting a logical argument will probably work to our advantage. It's too bad they didn't keep Jyri around long enough to see this through.
