Ref reply #4, line 33 - "Is THAT the arbitration you are talking about?"
No whale, that is not the arbitration that I am talking about.
Tomorrow's arbitration simply revolves around Polar's flight engineers and that of no other (FE furloughs due to AAWW's violation of scope's intent, FE furloughs out of order - from a "one"/pilot seniority list, ect).
Your disputant invective (admittedly well written) appears to mainly detail the controversy over the many downgraded Polar captains who continue to suffer seat loss due to the perceived and continuing theft of Polar's work (how these scope violations are conjured should be covered over at the ALPA site).
While the "seat pay loss" arbitration was combined with that of Polar's Flight Engineer's during October/November of 06, it is my understanding that this time they have been separated (seat pay loss to be arbitrated early in 2008, FE's on Dec 11/12, 2007).
When all is said and done whale, I'm sure it is safe to say that tomorrow, no Polar flight engineer will displace an Atlas airman.
