From my understanding sapa most likely will not exist as it does now (i.e. management funding). The judge will give his final ruling (Mid Nov.) as to weather sapa is a creditable organization to represent pilots.

The rumor I have heard is that the judge is very upset with skywest over the whole thing, I.e. trying to lead him to believe others were the head of sapa etc etc etc.

The fact is skyw tried to play sapa off as a legitimate union under the railway labor act. This judge is not going to allow skyw to continue to fund sapa period. What happens to sapa at that point is anyone’s guess. I think they (sapa) will come to us and try to collect dues. lol Anyhow things are about to change....
