Who is going to pay for the legal fees that will rack up over the next decade or two of litigation? And after those are paid, who pays for the rest of the union business (it costs money, lots of it)? The members through special assesments? Does the USAPA get to asses wages of the West pilots to litigate with the East pilots? Or, visa-versa?

I honestly don't know. Nothing like this has ever really happened before (at least on this scale). I do not envy the position these guys are now in. I'm sure Parker is grinning from ear to ear right now.
