What should the arbitrator do if one or both parties submit an arguably unreasonable offer?

Under the Pilot Program, the arbitrator is obligated to select one of the final offers submitted by the parties, even if the arbitrator believes that both of them are unreasonable. Thus, as in all cases under the Pilot Program, the arbitrator should simply select one of the final offers submitted. The parties reserve the right to file for a trial de novo if they believe the arbitrator selected for the award the unreasonable offer or demand from the other party.
