I personally pitty you and your radically off base theories that have never and will never happen.
Said lawsuits are still going, and will be for a while. The TWA suit has been going on for years, and likely will continue that way. No one has won anything. Even if TWA pilots win their suit, they likely won't get the big payout everyone is talking about. A judge is not going to BK a union over the settlement. And NO, ALPA can not cover awarded damages with a member assessment. It is against the ALPA constitution and by laws. Point being, management will do what they want. They won't let past lawsuits stop what is best for their pockets and those of the shareholders.
