Up till this point I thought you were actually serious. Now I see you were just being funny -- as if a DFR trial didn't already take place with the jury laughing at those super-duper-protective C&Rs.
And BTW, the only protection from furlough is the seniority number. Now go ahead and make me...
First of all, Easties don't know the meaning of that word. Second, Judge Silver acknowledged in writing that USAPA was created primarily to circumvent the Nicolau award so any future court would know exactly what's going on. Lastly, all this is moot until we hear from Dug if he's even going...

Summary Judgment Standard
Summary judgment is appropriate where “the movant shows that there is no genuine
dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”
Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). When determining whether a genuine dispute exists, the evidence of...
Judge Silver's final order is out.
In a nutshell, we're back to where we were in 2010. She decided to make no real ruling in the case. USAPA is free to negotiate a new seniority list but unless there's a "legitimate union purpose" all parties are liable to a DFR case...
Point of fact: any TWAers who had anything to do with the Ozark merger were long gone by 2001.
And for the record I support binding arbitration to settle any seniority integration. No pilot group should ever be able to take advantage of another.
True. So how come the company's DJ suit quoted the Addington case so often? Surely if it didn't matter the judge would've said so. I know you believe the appellate court ruled on merit versus ripeness but Judge Silver should be educating you soon enough.
Does the West own Judge Silver as well...
The article was written by Ted Reed, a former US Air FA, and current USAPA apologist. Parker knows all about the COC provision and will ensure any merger will not be affected by it.
Routine stuff. I think the biggest one was ALPA's motion to set-aside the verdict, a hail-mary by most defendants. Other motions involve the schedule for damages-phase discovery.
Update: looks like no settlement is imminent:
Dear Class Members,
The mediation on March 12th concluded without a settlement, although we anticipate meeting again on April 27th with ALPA and the mediator for continued settlement discussions. Because of the confidentiality provisions by...
Yes, we got hosed because the APA made a cynical show of "negotiating" with us then crammed-down the list of their making. The Bond-McKaskill law was supposed to fix that problem by forcing binding arbitration but as the AirTran pilots know too well a wily CEO can easily get around that.
This...
This is a great psy-ops ploy. Everyone knows Parker is gonna make a run at Amr as soon as he can so he's trying to pre-legitimize the idea for the public.
And for the record I do not support any airline mergers since they'll all hurt me.
Final motions were filed last week. Now we wait to see if Silver wants oral arguments or will just issue a ruling. Expect her ruling between May and November. 2012, hopefully.
