LMAO... Stop, you're killin' me Purple Turd Hole. If you guys lost at checkers everyone knows what you'd do. You'd scream, "it's not fair!" Then you'd throw everything in the air, steal the board, and run home with it. Thanks for laughs, but I've got a life to go live.

No.
I posted early on the very limited rumored details I was told. Vendetta posted much greater detail than I heard or am willing to state.
As for the date, it has nothing to do with what's been told because the arbs have told no one the exact release date.
The date (or period) of release has to do with logic.
These arbs have been very, very diligent in every aspect of this arbitration. They have also made it clear by their previous actions that they will not have their timeline of release dictated by anyone but themselves.
Five major issues were put in front of them for decisions, NIC, Los/Category-Status, Fences, Supp CC and Letter T.
The arbitration has been going on for nearly a year and a half. Of those five issues which if any do they not have the information they need to make a decision based on complete information? When will they receive that final and complete information?
There is no way these arbs are going to be this thorough and then completely blow it in the end. For you it may not be a big deal, but as I recall, East and West wanted to move 1,000 LAA pilots to the bottom of the list because of the very issue the arbs are awaiting on final information for.
There were several major debates about the NIC award. But probably the biggest career damaging effect to the East pilots was when the snapshot was taken of the 1,500 or so furloughed East pilots who were placed on the bottom of the NIC list. Had that snapshot been taken 2 years earlier or 2 years later the outlook of these pilots careers would have been drastically different.
Now think of the similarity in the effect of the decision the arbs will make in regards to Letter T. Everyone knows less than 200 Letter T pilots are coming back but if they just get it wrong by one pilot they could ultimately destroy this one pilot's career because they made a judgement call instead of waiting another 19 days. After waiting 18 months what's another 19 days? It will still be out by October 1.
I originally thought they could release the award now and then release the final list after they got the final Letter T numbers but in retrospect I can see why they would not do that. Why would they want to open themselves up to any potential litigation between the release of the award and release of the list?
This will probably be the most vetted SLI arbitration in history. The arbs will not do something stupid at this point.
Final Letter T pilots will be known on September 8. The award will be out shortly after that.
That is all based on my logic. But who knows. This is aviation. And I'm sure more than one of you will prove how my logic is wrong.
