I think you've hit the nail on the head.
The west's dues disgorgement claims are a stretch, USAPA former board likely has discretion. And USAPA's actual lawsuit against individual pilots feels like another total stretch... I don't see either of those really going anywhere.
I do think inside the protocol, particularly the SLI arb, the lawyers may really earn their fees. I'm not so sure with any potential JCBA arb, that seems more constrained if it gets there.
Either way, two years and it should be done.
