I guarantee you ALPA has deeper pockets.
Gotta love how the ALPA apologists like Johnso29 here view the world. ALPA loses a jury trial of a Duty to Fairly Represent lawsuit. Judge here's all motions from ALPA to throw out verdict, etc., and he DENIES them all. But does an ALPA apologist think for even a moment to do the right thing when shown to be guilty in a court of law? Not a chance. You talk about how you've got the deeper pockets and how you'll drag this out for 10+ years.
ALPA doesn't understand that they keep getting themselves into these debacles by their failure of just plain doing the right thing. No matter how much they justified in their own minds how cool it would be to get the pilots of American Airlines to return to ALPA, you just can't do it by stabbing the pilots you currently represent (TWA pilots) in the back. Thus, ALPA still struggles with something most of us should learn in kindergarten...DO THE RIGHT THING.
