[QUOTE=Check Essential; ALPA had to sell its HQ building to pay off Spellacy.[/QUOTE]

I thought Spellacy got overturned. Just did a quick google search, Spellacy v. ALPA, I saw a long decision:


SPELLACY II v. AIRLINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL III

that ends with this:

"Because we conclude that Judge Weinstein correctly granted ALPA's motion for judgment as a matter of law, we need not address either ALPA's contention that Judge Weinstein erred in instructing the jury or the pilots' argument that the grant of a new trial was improper.
CONCLUSION
We have considered all the arguments raised by appellants and find them to be without merit.   Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
McLAUGHLIN, Circuit Judge."

SPELLACY II v. AIRLINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL III, No.

Perhaps someone can explain it. Was this the final judgment? If so, did ALPA ultimately prevail even though a jury had found ALPA guilty?
