USAPA has nothing to worry about, the company doesn't have anything of substance about the job action. All inuendos. Val will get major $$$$ out of this crap west management team. Oh boy the future will be fun to watch. AMR buys the east op, the west goes to Republic, everyone is happy.
Your Desperation is EPIC. Your Union is doomed and you'll be paying through the nose for this for years to come. The Nic award is coming at you like a freight train as well. The only thing "Val" is going to get out of this is time off and mandatory re-training on the electrical system she knew precious LITTLE about. Personally, I'd fire her then come after her in court for the damage she caused to my Airplane out of pure ignorance.
All is lost. Either accept that fact or find a new career.
As soon as your fake union is buried, I'll be pissing on their grave.
