That's pretty much what happened. How often do you see 98% of any group vote the same way for something. The plan was to vote in the MOU then claim they had been duped. That much was even discussed in emails between some of AOL's top leaders. Problem is 2 out of the 4 USAPA "scabs" that helped craft the MOU language are west pilots.

Any who, it's all up to the Judge now and probably appeals court later. Arguing over who was really too naive to read and understand a 15 page MOU or who was brilliant enough to fool the AOL lawyers and 98% of the west pilots is irrelevant.
