The taxpayers paid for the legal team. No cost to the pilots. The suit was brought by the Dept of Justice as presented by the Dept of Labor. Surmise AMR settled before their legal fees went up plus knowing they would lose the case. Like someone charged with a crime standing outside a court room and the jury just got selected, they decide to plea bargain afterall. This was a good win for DOL and USERRA statutes for all employees.
