It will take some big thinking to overcome the fallout of this debacle.
If usapa get's away with it, then precedent is set, there is nothing stopping any group that is larger from forming their own union and imposing their will on the minority after the fact. That is exactly what is happening right now, a union negotiating only for the east pilots with the west shackled and gagged.
