OPINION
ROBERT L. CARTER, District Judge.
Heedless of the admonition that “[a] request for attorney’s fees should not result in a second major litigation,” Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 437, 103 S.Ct. 1933, 1941, 76 L.Ed.2d 40 (1983), plaintiffs move to reargue numerous aspects of the court’s opinion of July 20, 1988. That opinion, with which familiarity is assumed, awarded plaintiffs $416,191.30 in attorney’s fees and ensured Arthur Chambless an ac-tuarially adjusted monthly pension benefit of $2,689.02. See Chambless v. Masters, Mates & Pilots Pension Plan, No. 80 Civ. 4258 (RLC)…
