Just to be clear, I don't think DOH OR NIC is going to happen. We need to face the fact that there is no real way to fix this 8 year old mess. All we can do is say "OK its now 2014 and we are merging with AA, lets put the 3 together" Anybody still wanting NIC or DOH in regards to US/AWA can do nothing but hurt this group by continuing to sue. Anything other than accepting the fact that it is 2013 and not 2005 can only put a severe hurt on us, and by us I mean both east and west. I know that AOL's fall back position is arbitration will give them the NIC. By the time we would see arbitration for this it will be 2015, 10 years removed from 2005. I don't think any arbitrator panel is going to concern themselves with a "tentative list" from an uncompleted SLI that resided in an old and now void contract and T/A. Even the courts are having trouble with this and the T/A is still active (for an estimated 30 days more or so) I am 99% sure the east can live with this scenario and go on with life as the worlds largest airline. the question is can AOL give up the dream of being instant captains or widebody captains and also go on with life. What we have is kinda like the cold war was in my view, neither side can win, both sides can do pretty well by agreeing not to nuke each other, and both sides can only lose by pushing this mess into the realm of post POR.
