If you’re referring to my post specifically, I was mostly being facetious. But I’ll bite anyway. I highly doubt anything will come of that DOJ lawsuit. They’d have to prove that the consumer public was being harmed by the agreement, which in reality it looks like the exact opposite is happening. The only thing that concerns me is the blatant CBA violation under this agreement. At best, the arbiter rules in our favor and we take the company to court, which will drag out for years. Feet to the fire, I’d say there’s a much better chance than a snowball in hell that we end up merged, bought, whatever in the next 5-10 years. Pure conjecture though. If it did happen, i have no doubt it won’t be favorable to our group.
Oh, you’re welcome for the laugh though 😉
