All the arbitrator has said so far in a nutshell is that the pilots have won the grievance. With this latest letter, he said that the pre-concessionary (2001) contract will not be reinstated, and that we will continue to work under our current (2003) contract. As of yet he has not ruled how much or which pilots are entitled to any back pay if any at all. That's what he wants the company and union to agree on within the next 45 days. At the end of those 45 days he will issue his own decision as to who will get back pay if any and how much they are owed. Since neither the union or company have budged whatsoever on all previous attempts to reach a decision, I'm pretty confident they won't come to an agreement in the next 45 days either. Hopefully the arbitrator already has his decision written up and will submit it shortly after the 45 days has expired and we won't have to wait another 90 days to submit our arguments all over again and have the arbitrator take another 6 months to review it before he takes his 90 days or whatever it is to issue his decision.
