Seems like a well orchestrated chess game. AA&US management were in bed all along. US/DL LGA/DCA slot swap (DOJ would have never approved the deal with AA @ JFK and US @ LGA), US becoming an insignificant member of STAR, both AA & US dragging their feet w/ negotiations, AA's bankruptcy and AA's offer to APA (knowing well that APA would never accept).
If US would have come out and asked for a merger-the unions would have cried bloody murder. But let AA offer them a crappy contract and they'll go running to US.
The APA letter makes the US management look like a knight in shinning armor, but ignore their treatment of their own pilot groups. IMHO US&TWA guys are gonna get the short end of the stick on this deal ... again.

I wonder if maybe this is a little too clever? All of it assumes AMR sits on their hands, and the judge does very little.
One article raised the question of a conflict of interest between serving on the cerditor's committee, and having a deal with a third party. An interesting thought.

Wait a minute---what if Nicolau is null-and-void since never implimented, and a new agreement between HP-US-AA is reached? Isn't that a possibility?

Carl, usairways in court says the nicolau award was inherited by usapa just like all other contract provisions. What part of a successor union inherits all agreements under the rla don't you understand?
