3. It would have to go to federal appeals court first, and lose there. You can't go straight to SCOTUS anytime you don't like a ruling. The case was federal right? State courts wouldn't be part of that.

No, ALPA isn't a party to the case. No standing to appeal anything. ALPA could maybe sue the DOJ, on some grounds which I can't think of offhand.
