Appealed the DFR verdict - Overturned due to ripeness (they sued too early)
Sued their OWN PILOTS AGAIN under RICO - Summarily dismissed (they accuse their own pilots of being mobsters, what class)
Sued by their company for declaratory judgement - TBD
Sued their own company for failure to negotiate - TBD
Sued by their company for illegal job action - TBD
TRO filed by their company for illegal job action - Hearing today, we shall see
All done at the behest of their CLIENT. The CLIENT sees these as victories. A good lawyer fights for the CLIENT'S wishes.

Any other improvements - Zero
All to provide USAPA pilots what THEY perceive as far more important...that is the non implementation of the SLI. Again, a victory in the eyes of USAPA pilots.

And keeping the seniority lists separate.

Exactly the same as an ALPA firm. Lawyers have good gigs.

And Delta F/O's didn't lose 25 years of seniority like USAPA pilots would have lost. They still might lose it, but so far USAPA has kept that list off the property. Against all odds.
