With TWA, the entire issue depends a lot on speculation:

• What would happen if they had just gone out of business
• What would happen if American really would have just bought the assets without pilots
• What would happen in bankruptcy before a Judge

I'd have fought releasing section 1 and if it happens here, I will fight it. The TWA pilots should have fought it AND if ASA can throw ALPA's attorney out of the room during final negotiations, TWA could have too.

This is kind of like two lovers fighting because the kid turned out ugly. They both knew what they were doing when the wine and roses came out.
