If this is true it is time to dump ALPA. Obviously they cannot write contracts, enforce them or represent their dues paying members properly.
You do realize that if ALPA won the case but there isn't any fine then that was a decision made by the arbitrator not ALPA. Once you go to arbitration then the outcome of the case and any penalties against the loser is done by the arbitrator period. Now if they settled the case and gave the pay for the pilots then you might have a DFR lawsuit.
