With that verbiage, mixed lines are here to stay and the judge won't be able to do anything. This will be a "minor dispute".
As for build up lines, they were here long before G.B. I remember seeing them as a new FO 6 years ago. The difference was they were built to a minimum of 40 hours and there was only one or two built up lines per bid period.
Ok, great. So where are the bid lines? PBS was never written into what the court has now called our interim contract, the PWR(Pilot Work Rules). As meager as they are, the tools can’t even abide by. What’s more important is this fact; PBS is not in our PWR.
The company was hoping for a sympathetic hometown judge in Vegas. Didn’t happen. Now the 9th circuit is our appellate. All but a slam-dunk for our side. This bodes well for our future lawsuits.
If we tallied up what this lawsuit is costing, I’m guessing quarter-million to a half. Looks like we’re getting our due’s worth. Oh. That’s right, we aren’t paying due’s?
