You think the plaintiffs will go for that ?
If say, just 2000 of the 2700 TWA pilots take a piddly $10,000 each (a joke), that's $20 million (don't know what the lawyers would get on top of that).
Ten grand a pop for ALPA selling them down the river, hook, line and sinker ain't gonna happen, IMHO. It would be a slap in the face. If a sliding scale of where each pilot was harmed was developed with most being junior and totally hosed, you could easily quadruple that to $100 million.
ALPA got that much insurance ?
Probably bankrupt the insurer. No, I can't see how ALPA's not going to get out of this without their pants pulled down and if their pants are down, they're going to want yours to stay warm.
Face it..........as a DAL pilot, you could be in a MAJOR world of hurt. I'd start saving big-time now, if I were you.
