The short answer is basically never.
There is a built in dispute resolution process in the PWA, and as long as they are “complying” with that, no judge is going to touch any legal action ALPA takes outside of the process. It really doesn’t matter how many disputes there are, as long as they can possibly make an argument. It would really take something like “we are replacing the agreed upon pay tables with these new ones that are 10% less” to get outside action to stick.
