What if they don't? (No court can force them to pay more if they don't want to, I don't think).
No but what the court can do is approve consessionary contracts that pay pilots/flight attendants/mechanics less. I doubt that UAL or AA will pay more. Especially if AA or UAL don't see any attempts to lower your labor costs. They will say everyone needs to get kicked in the shins.
