In my view, there isn't much the company can do because they decided to stay out of it from the beginning and let the two unions (acpa/alpa) try to work it out. When the unions couldn't work it out, it whent to arbitration. It didn't have to. The company could have fixed the problem right from the start. CIRB arbitration has not worked either (unless you are an ex CP). Having said that, there are those who believe the company can still influence the board and come up with a more fair seniority list. The NO vote I think was more directed at everyone,ie AC,CIRB,ALPA. The OAC have got nowhere with arbitration and only if you lost as much seniority as some have would you get a real sense of the problem. As for the agreement itself, it was not that great either. So as has been said already, many agendas for the NO vote. Those who enter AC now will not be influenced too much by all this except to hear the "whining" of us OAC pilots.
Still the best job around.
