I think just collectively stomping your feet and refusing to abide by your written agreements is a poor excuse. Just my $.02. Give your West friends a call. Ask them what they really think now.

Yes I am a West pilot. If you read the transcripts as you said you did then you would know that the MOU was presented differently to the West and the East. That was admitted by your own counsel during the trial and acknowledged by Silver. However it wasn't enough to trigger her definition of a DFR. You are right the West lawyers screwed up.

But that doesn't make your position righteous. No more sour grapes here. Doesn't help anything. Good luck with your remaining 16 years. Hope we can all recoup some of the staggering financial losses suffered over the last decade. The temptation is to wish financial ill upon the East but that would just hurt the West pilots, for whom i have great respect, as well. So best of luck to you.
