Our experience with the existing FOA provisions in the act is that because of the way the FOA provision is designed—which is essentially baseball-style arbitration, where each party puts its best offer forward, and then the arbitrator chooses one or the other—it is actually an effective way to bring people closer together rather than further apart, because no one wants to put the offer on the table that's so outrageously ridiculous that the arbitrator will never choose it.
Similarly, in group FOA we would expect that this process would actually bring the parties closer together. This doesn't mean that it's going to be a friendly process. By the time a shipper and a railway get to the point where they are in FOA, they clearly have some strong disagreements. But the FOA process will give them a mechanism that's fair and reasonable to resolve those disagreements, and it's an approach that doesn't have within it the incentive for them to be more polarized going in.
