USAPA Trial

[TWA Dude]

Ah, yes, more wisdom from United's own USAPA apologist.

"USAPA officials, who, like those on the America West side, declined to comment in advance of the trial, have maintained from the start that the arbitrator's decision was never final or binding and was just a proposal."

You've got to be kidding me, right?

They think if they say it enough, it will be true.

Nope. Apparently their legal team honestly thinks seniority "lives in the contract and is negotiable like crewmeals " And yes. That was an exact quote.

It all depended on the outcome. It was only a proposal when they did not agree with the decision.

There you have it, no integrity.

Unbelievable. I don't doubt you one second, I just find it incredible that they would proffer the idea in court that a final and binding seniority award is a proposal subject to negotiations.

My understanding is that the Judge made it perfectly clear that he does not buy in to that thinking. USAPA's attorneys got schooled in the arbitration and do not seem to have gotten any smarter. The latest I heard is that they fought very hard to prevent Bradford from having to testify. They were unseccessful and Bradford was ordered to appear in Phoenix.
