Yeah, how crazy is that? These are the same crazy people that thought TWA pilots would win the suit. Oh yeah, they did! Airline pilot salaries, retirement contributions, benefits, etc for 2400 pilots, for 9 years is a lot of money. No assumptions here. There is no doubt that TWA pilots will get a massive settlement. It's how ALPA is going to pay for it that is speculation. More than likely there will be hugh assessments from ALPA members. Remember: ALPA did this to their OWN members, the ones that paid them to protect them. It was done WITH INTENT, which means intentionally. Nobody here is watching too much Law and Order. This really happens.
