The only winners are the lawyers and I know what matters most is billable hours. Step right up and file your law suit. Lawyers like fancy cars too.
The lawyers are working on a contingency and will no doubt make a lot of money, but the subject was will the pilots be better off for having filed a lawsuit. The answer is clearly yes. It may have taken years, but the TWA pilots prevailed and are presently calculating damages. They will be made whole by ALPA for not being fairly represented, and at some point in the future, ALPA will realize that when they won the right to represnt a pilot group, they have the obligation to represent all of them equally.
