If the MOU was followed explicitly without a merger protocol agreement than it becomes obvious that the MOU exposes it's own timeline to a substantial delay. USAPA is doing more than any party to retire the timeline by utilizing MCB to settle the merger protocol agreement.
I've posted on this further here:

Your are making a mistake. I have had many clients attempt to interpret a legal document using logic. It does not work can't be done end of story. That is what you are trying here. Logic. Legal language is much more difficult to understand and logic plays no real role. I see many on here talk about the plural word "list" and "lists in effect". Does that mean the list working pilots are using. Or does it mean all list in effect including the one on Parker's desk? It could even be a list not in effect right now. Suppose APA becomes CBA and makes their own list? Which "lists" is in effect when? Siegal's reply makes it very clear LEGALLY. 13b. Did USAPA sign or not. No other logic need apply. We will just have to wait for the court to respond to find out who is LEGALLY correct. You a pilot or Siegal a high dollar legal eagle. Just remember what you want or think is immaterial. What is legal is the only thing that matters. It is in the language of the contract called the MOU.
