2) He really believes that there is something actionable in the SLI.

Sadly, we DO have pilots that have experience suing their own pilot groups. These guys were never shy about what they were doing. But suing over something like a SLI takes BIG bucks, and if they were really serious, there would have already been some major fundraising going on. So the chances that this is going and and is some big secret is zero.

Also considering the statute of limitations and the time elapsed, these guys would need to be ready to go really soon, so they'd already need to have their nut collected. Since pilots are notoriously bad at keeping secrets, the chances that the who, what, where, when, why and how of those involved is a secret is also zero.

Considering that the TWA thing was dismissed as nothing but a nuisance, the fact that Alfa is making noise about a SLI suit must mean there is some concern as to the actionability

Now we all know that the above is absurd. So it must be just playing the fear card.

If ALPA is so secure in their position, then it should be a no brainer to go face to face and put all this stuff to rest once and for all.

All this other crap just reeks of insecurity in the Flat Earth Society.
