TWA ALPA lawsuit?

[Vne]

Do you even know the circumstances surrounding that decision? The judge interpreted the section 1113 bankruptcy code to mean he could only abrogate our entire contract -- not cherry-pick the parts the APA (through AA) objected to. That was the choice the TWA MEC faced: waive our LPPs or lose our contract entirely. I believe they made the only decision they could based on what was known at the time.

Now, it comes out later that judge was wrong about his interpretation of section 1113 and additionally the TWA merger counsel, Roland Wilder, took his orders directly from Woerth. As far as evidence, we have a money trail that ALPA continued funding the drive to get the APA back after January 9, 2001, the date the sale was announced.

Dude please let these posers figure this s(** out on their own..
You also have some facts wrong also but I will not tell you which ones.
Lets just keep mum on the merits and keep your speculation out of a public forum. The jury will decide leave it at that.

This is not a bad lawsuit as the facts are plain to see. However, DFR cases are very hard to win so I for one don't have high expectations.

Sounds like two different issues. Good luck!

What are you seeking to gain to make you whole...and who is going to pay for it?

 

[flyboyike]

WILL go to trial! Sounds alot like the bragging the RJDC use to do. I mean their case survived summary judgment too, but Dan Ford and his cronnies ultimately threw in the towel before it ever got to trial.

I've met Dan Ford. He is not the towel-throwing type, believe you me.

OK, sorry for asking, I just thought it was a done deal but I guess not. Carry on...

You got a point there.

But wouldn't it be nice if you were 2 for 2. Collecting damages not only from the east-scum, but the ALPA scum as well?

Too bad the only people that are going to win big are your lawyers. You can always try and spill some coffee on yourself at McDonald's.

... hot coffee from McDonald's spilled on your crotch or an ALPA pin pushed on your chest.. both of them cost you money and scar you for life.

So, how much money does ALPA have anyway?

Since USAIR split and the down turn is wages over the last eight years, significantly less. They picked the wrong time to sue ALPA....

Log on to alpa.org and check out the budget...

They picked the wrong time to sue ALPA....

Suit was filed in 2002. Was that a bad time too?

Anytime is a bad time to file a frivelous suit.

I agree.

Is the "Head Case" (initials TC) still the point man of the lawsuit?

If you want MY dues money, you better bet this is the place to discuss it. Otherswise rent a hotel meeting hall and invite all 60,000 ALPA members to attend to you can discuss how we are supposed to feel good about handing over our dues money. (Don't worry, less than 200 will show).

Or, to make it easier on you..... operate a website that explains how MY dues money is rightfully yours......
