OK with that.There you guys go again. Take a moment and actually read the order.
It directs the parties to present their case to the arbitrator within 30 days on whether it should be expedited or not. Bottom line, it’s not tied up in court and it’s up to the arbitrator to decide if it has merit to be expedited. I see it only at best, as a minor victory for the foot dragging Polar MEC. I think AAWH is happy to see it move along and not be tangled in litigation. The Polar MEC has indicated what they think the outcome will be by not making themselves available for a simple conference call with the arbitrator.
This is an unprecedented move by the Polar MEC and the arbitrators are aware of the Polar tactics. Holden mentioned to the neutrals that it was known that Polar was had a "take it or leave it attitude" and it is wearing thin.
Remember, early 2008 is no big deal. It’s obvious that the merger is not going to happen in the next six month's, so DHL appears OK with that.
