ALPA didn't do that for TWA pilots i don't think they would do that for AT pilots either.
The TWA pilots had a member ratification of their SLI deal with AMR. Once they voted it in their was nothing for ALPA to do. TWA was also within 60 days of liquidation with cash almost depleted.
The situation at AirTran is quite different. SW has already completed the purchase. This is not a prenuptial agreement. The TWA agreement was a prenuptial. Sign it or no purchase by AMR.
