After much cheer-leading in the beginning, the IPA has now lost the FAA lawsuit. No leverage left now. Last spring, Travis was patting himself on the back when the US Dept. of Justice filed court papers stating a mistake was made in the calculation of the cost-benefit data. The problem now is the data is now more in the FAA's benefit! OOPS! All cargo unions must now dig themselves out a much bigger (244 M) hole if they are to be successful in reversing this cargo exclusion. This is much like train-wreck Thrush all over again. The IPA has been largely silent about this.
