It doesn't seem likely to me that the company would bother with wasting time trying to cut our costs by force when we are certainly getting shut down by Delta. What would be their justification, if the company has a termination date regardless of cost? How could a judge justify imposing draconian cuts, when doing so will not extend the life of the company? The judge does have discretion, but he needs a foundation to stand on.
It's all in how you interpret what the company meant by not wanting to refile the 1113. Many took that to mean ever. Many took it to mean they would not correct what the judge wanted and refile right away, but negotiate with the pilots and if the TA passed, no refile but if it didn't pass a refile. Only the company knows who's interpretation is correct.
