I'm sure there were things in that contract that the pilots didn't catch when it was negotiated. There are always a few gotcha's that slip through on both sides. If a judge ruled against the pilots on this it would essentially render any contract negotiated open to endless revision. I can't imagine a judge wanting to allow that kind of chaos. Even if the ruling only applied to airline labor it could send the airline industry into a tailspin. Can you imagine what the old US Airways Easities would do with a ruling like this?
