The 9th said the company hasn't accepted the list yet, so they haven't committed a DFR. However, they say as soon as they get a DOH list the DFR is "unquestionably" ripe. It's a Mexican stand off. If USAPA pulls the trigger, the 9th blows their head off. It's time for the company to get involved and finally resolve this. Nothing has changed.

I read that they are telling Wake to dismiss the case...dismiss it.

Have you seen the final ruling?!?!? did hear it's due to ripeness but haven't seen the actual wording. Either way....with LOA 93 about to be won, we have quite a bit of time to ride our retirements and possibly pay raises for a long time......

think it's time for the west to realize this is going nowhere, and I doubt you guys can raise the cash for another full trial, How much did the first one get you!??!?! Time to come to the table and both sides need to agree on something that pisses both sides off, not one side holding a lottery ticket.

In essence, the 9th said walking around with a vest made of dynamite and threatening to detonate it is perfectly acceptable. You only cross the line when you ACTUALLY detonate it.

I'm pretty sure that the Addington case will be totally dismissed and after we have a DOH contract they can re-sue.
 
No chirping on what the balanced owed is on that legal representation??? I'm sure you'll have a number of lawyers wanting to help out on a retrial a number of years from now, especially if you have an open bill with the original law firm....

The west had asked Wake to order us to pay $1.8m for their legal fees.
 
from my email:

"USAPA NEWS FLASH
The Ninth Circuit has ruled in USAPA’s favor in the Addington case on ripeness grounds. The case has been remanded to Judge Wake with instructions to dismiss the case. The ruling is being reviewed by Legal now; more information will follow."

anyone know what "ripeness grounds" means?

It was to early to sue.
 
Meaning, how can you sue with nothing has happened to hurt you. Your predicting what will happen in the future, and want to be compensated for it now, before that train crashes into your car.

I guess they figured the judges had the same crystal ball they've been using...

Now I would imagine if a CBA is voted in, including a DOH list. (what maybe in 2-3 years) Then they MIGHT have a case for the seniority not being based on NIC....

then they will probably have to wait another 1-2 years to get the case in front of a judge, then another 6 months to a year to get a ruling.

Then of course another 6 months or so for an appeal from whichever side loses.

So I guess you might see another lawsuit in 4-5 years. This of course if the Westies can come up with another 1.8 million on top of the 1.8 million they already owe their lawyer....
