I don't think the West is holding USAPA "hostage". You are really dealing with APA now. USAPA might still be the CBA, but if/when the DC court case is dismissed they are a paper tiger. No power to do anything. Just along for the ride until the new CBA is announced. USAir pilots should be working together to try not to get "CALed" in MB arbitration. I think the East/West split is just too great for that to happen. Good luck to all involved.
