J. FOX, JR. AND DANNY R. POTTER This article reviews several recent arbitration cases between PATCO and the FAA in an effort to examine common agency approaches and arguments used in the application of the collectively bargained grievance procedure between the two parties. The authors conclude that the FAA seems to be trying to circumvent its negotiated agreements via grievance arguments and appeals based directly on the management rights clauses of Executive Order 11491.
