Well, the APA has their high-priced lawyers and advisors too and it's a given that they are well aware of what Parker is all about. The key is to get the best deal for the most pilots and Parker may simply be the lessor of two evils. April 23 to June 6 is the timeline for arguing the 1113 terminations before judge Lane and when he must rule. On the off chance a TA is agreed to by the APA BOD, it STILL would have to be something that passes by a majority of the membership and that would simply HAVE to be something that offers the bottom half of the seniority list a viable career that so far doesn't exist.

If the term sheets are imposed, my bet says the tent flap then flies open for Parker to jam his snout into. In fact, it may indeed come down to that, i.e., AMR may take it right to the end before becoming serious about a reasonable resolution and not putting anything viable forward until AFTER they abrogate the pilots CBA, but before AA pilots finalize throwing their support behind Parker. At that point they're playing chicken though and sometimes people wait too long to turn the wheel. Probably be quiet until the 23rd before the wild ride starts.
