Also, what will involvement of an arbitrator cause? If the company is forced to cough up some of the lost hourly pay could it result in another excess bid and push 100-400 more pilots into the 727 SO and FO seats?

Then what? After an arbitrator award how would the company try to save the money it's saving right now? I don't think they will give up that easily...
Do you seriously think we are going to win the arbitration? I may not be a lawyer, but our contract seems to give them every right to do what they are doing. We can talk about intent all day long, but the language itself seems pretty clear.

I'm not saying I don't want us to win, but I just don't see it happening.
