I can't say that I have ever thought Siegal was unbiased. He seems to be working for the west every time. I expect it from Freund, but the company's attorney? What a hypocrite! They cannot get the contract implemented and told you guys at a PHX crew news that the FOS probably won't let them integrate us until when,mid 2016? But they can't take a month to let us have our representation? Wasn't Siegal one of the guys arguing that the east couldn't effectively argue for the west? What's the difference?

The best item I was in the transcript was from Freund. Page 109:

Now, Wes has said he has to redo his
6 entire case in light of USAPA's decision to leave
7 the field.
8 I don't agree with him. He can choose to
9 do that, but he's totally free to take whatever
10 position he thinks is appropriate on behalf of the
11 pilots that he represents.
12 And knowing that the question of whether
13 the starting point of a seniority integration for
14 this pilot group, collectively, that the question of
15 whether it should be the Nicolau Award or shouldn't
16 be the Nicolau Award was in play. And I regard it
17 as still in play, although, albeit that there isn't
18 going to be an East committee to argue that point.
19 I don't know why it is that the American
20 Committee has to change its position.
21 It can vigorously and forcefully argue
22 that the list that it has proposed is a fair and
Page 110
1 equitable list given all the circumstances.
2 So his choice to rejigger his exhibits is
3 just that: It's a choice.
4 I don't want to deprive him of that choice
5 if he wants to do that. That's okay with me. But
6 we should recognize it for what it is, and that is
7 it's a choice.
8 So what I'm suggesting is that we begin
9 with our case on the next Monday regularly scheduled
10 for the hearing.

Surprised me coming from your lawyer.
