AA/US-AW. Now the fun begins.

Why do you say that? How can they make a decision without having all the hearings?

The hearings may help narrow down the minutiae about fences and the like, but the overall solution is already settled: ratio by category and status. These things are practically copy and paste at this point.
 
If the arbitrators already know, it seems these SLI hearings are a colossal waste of time and creating unneeded and unwanted animosity between the individual pilot groups.

Yep. But MECs are stubborn, and always think that they can make brilliant arguments to convince the arbitrators to do something unusual to benefit them, so the charade continues.

So who's list will win out then?

Think he's asking which of the 3 proposals is closest to what will be the final outcome. Then again they pulled them from the website :)

Ahh, okay. I have no idea. Haven't even read the proposals. They're largely irrelevant.

Ratio by category and status. Write that down. :)
 
I dunno I just did a redeye with a captain that told me for at least an hour that it's gonna be pretty heavily weighted towards DOH and longevity as its the only fair way.

I'm taking his word for it. Why would he lie?!?!?
He's probably one of those guys screaming that the nic was dead a few months ago. It's very much alive now and it probably will end up the east and west list when its all said and done.

From the latest domicile update:

"... the Company believes that the Panel should exercise its jurisdiction to decide the three questions that were presented, and in doing so, should order that the hearing move forward based on the schedule and with the merger committees agreed upon in the Protocol (with the limited time extension discussed by the Panel yesterday), and that the APA should not establish a new merger committee to represent East pilots. The Protocol Agreement is a signed settlement agreement between the parties that should not be upended by the unilateral actions of one party based on its decision not to attend the hearings in this case."

Yes, but you must remember one thing about the 2 "leaders" that wrote that (and the 2 other ones that signed it). Nothing is ever their fault. It's always someone else's. Scream, yell, stomp your feet, hold your breath and blame everyone else. That's the PHL and CLT M.O.!
 
I say just throw all the names in a hat and start drawing them out one by one.
