From armyofleonidas.org:
We had a meet and greet with the attorneys this week. Marty Harper spoke for about a half an hour concerning the trial and where we go from here. Dr. Jacob made a presentation that recapped the arguments presented by either side, the applicable law, and he discussed the jury instructions. Plaintiff John Bostic discussed the career progression charts involving several of the plaintiffs. Finally, we would like to emphasize a very prescient statement made by Attorney Katie Brown. She stood up in a rather impromptu manner when someone asked a rhetorical question about what the plaintiffs had won. Her answer was quite clear (paraphrasing):
The West pilots have won quite a lot as USAPA's DOH is now dead. Without this lawsuit, USAPA would have likely prevailed in its DOH quest and every West pilot would not be worrying about remedies, but instead each of you would be witnessing the destruction of your career as East pilots who brought nothing more to the merger other than furloughs would be jumping ahead of most West pilots.
