I think the suit would have to be based on something like a 'down-bid' in lieu of 'retirement, and a 2 year freeze. If a crew member bid to the panel instead of retiring, is that considered a down-bid, and should those crews be frozen for 2 years? Then, in subsequent bids [after their two years of plumbing] they could once again bid where their seniority allowed. If there were [5] CA slots in a subsequent bid, only that many would have been able to bid to the left seat off the panel. The age 60/65 law is the law, but I think contractually both sides took some unethical liberties with the CBA during the hysteria and anger.
