Wonder if west might need to focus on just the east merger committee? That seems a more reasonable position - just focus on east's history and see if they can get a narrowly drawn injunction against east.
The APA response doesn't surprise me, they're looking out for the legacy APA pilots. Whether there was a valid/legal arbitration or not, they would rather have a sixty year old ahead of one of their pilots as opposed to a fifty year old. That's fine, I was expecting that.
What would give me pause as a west pilot though is the company's response. In the past they've been pretty spot on. If you choose to listen to what they say, the choice is: drop the injunction and let things proceed, the west has a seat at the table, or risk years of delay. Hmmmmmm, just something to think about......not that anyone gives a $%^& about what I think (east, LAA, or west).
