Yes Carl, it makes me chuckle. It's FAR from over. There still has to be a hearing for damages. Then they'll likely be appeals. These trials can take 10 years. Not to mention that DPA leaves out the fact that an assessment must be approved by a member vote. Instead, they choose to imply that ALPA will just swoop in and take $30,000 out of our checks.
