The ALPA and the USAPA pay tables have no legal standing as they were both just made up. The only controlling document for pay rates is the contract.
The 3% increase can't be separated from the LOA 84 pay rates. The Arbitrator would have to rewrite the contract to do as you suggest and he has no authority to change the contract.
The main dispute is that USAPA claims the pay freeze ended when it expired and the company claims the pay freeze continues in effect past the freeze expiration date. The secondary dispute is whether the 18% pay cut expired with the pay freeze expiration or continues in effect separately.
