When you get past your usual snarky comments, your own post should show YOU why you're wrong. It's wrong because it's devoid of anything other than personal opinion. Here it is again in case you've forgotten:

Your post is not only a gross oversimplification, but it's flat out wrong. As Brakechatter says above, USAPA is not the one refusing to negotiate. Truth is that management isn't refusing either. Management is just dragging their feet to the maximum limit so as not to be portrayed as negotiating in bad faith. You should talk to USAPA's leaders on this...I have.
But as I've said earlier, the strategy to keep the Nicolau award off the property was a complex one. It began with the decertification of ALPA, and has taken many turns since then to get where they are now. As Brakechatter correctly points out, there is an outstanding grievance on snapback that has the possibility of bringing east pilots much higher wages while still keeping that list off the property. The Seham law firm has helped east pilots pursue the strategy that east pilots want.
Your attempt to minimize the effectiveness of Seham's firm is understandable given your extreme loyalty to ALPA, but you're demonstrably wrong.
