You will be forced to define "harm" as not getting to keep the windfall that never happened. That will make you appear that you are using a court to gain advantage...as opposed to achieving fairness. If I were your attorney, I would urge you to drop this. IMO, you can't win. And even if you did, USAPA would file bankruptcy and discharge any monetary judgment. I also don't believe your lawsuit will produce any injunction that slows down the SLI arbitration.

It's far better to not spend the money on a suit that you'll recover nothing from, even if you win. Shoot for a fast fair combining of operations and the pay increases that will follow.
