I doubt any AWA (USAir West) Pilot wanted or thought they would do better with DOH, seeing how the Junior FO at USAir East (before recent furlough recalls) is a 1987 DOH.
The sad part of all this is even if the AAA East guys are successful at decertifying ALPA, they will still have to abide buy Nicholau's arbitration award on the seniority list, only now they will even further divide East and West. A great thing to happen in the middle of negotiations...........NOT!
All that will really get accomplished is they will add a few more years to the negotiation timeline.
We did this at FedEx and it cost us 10 years in negotiations.
