I honestly do not know, but I would hope that since it is OUR contract, that whether LM signs it or not could be made irrelevant. Kind of like SLim PIckins in Blazing Saddles at the end when he punches Dom Deluise and says "I work for Mel Brooks". WE do not work for Lee Moak. We don't work for Tim O either I know, but I would HOPE that he tells Lee to sign or he (Tim) will sign it himself. I honestly do not know. They have very high priced lawyers in DC that our dues are paying for, and it is their problem as to how to deal with it. Holding OUR contract hostage is not an acceptable answer. That could very well be the death of ALPA if they tried something like that. (If, of course those details ever saw the light of day).

All that being said, I think you might be jumping the gun just a little. Let's see how this all plays out. Besides, there is nothing we can do about it at this point anyway.
