Keep telling yourself that if it makes you happy. The 2005 transition agreement set up a process which both sides agreed would be a fair and equitable path to a seniority list. That process was followed to its conclusion when the company accepted the Nicolau award. Everyone else in the entire world besides USAPA understands that. You can't simply come in after the fact and bludgeon the other side into submission because you have more votes. If that was possible, every merger would end up that way because in every merger there is one side with more votes. Keep trying to fool yourself with your half witted legal analyses. At some point the hammer will drop and you will be sitting there with your mouth hanging open.
At least answer one question: What fair and equitable, neutral process has USAPA set up for both the East and West to equally represent themselves in this new seniority list. I mean since you claim the first one was a nullity, what is the new process you have established. Right now, it looks like the process is, we have more votes so you are screwed Westies. Lets see how that passes muster in a court of law.
