Something to think about. At United in 1989, the "570" were put in front of the scabs and non-scab "539" on the senority list after being junior to them since 1985. I believe there were 3 separate lawsuits to stop this but they were unsuccsessful as the "new" list still stands today. IOW, the seniority list was changed by the union as part of a cba. Could the majority East guys at USAPA change the Nic award as part of a new cba? This is not flamebait and I have no dog in this hunt. Just my 2 cents.
