The court begs to differ:
At this point, neither the West Pilots
nor USAPA can be certain what seniority proposal ultimately
will be acceptable to both USAPA and the airline as part of
a final CBA. Likewise, it is not certain whether that proposal
will be ratified by the USAPA membership .....
Thus, even under the district court’s injunction
mandating USAPA to pursue the Nicolau Award, it is
uncertain that the West Pilots’ preferred seniority system ever
would be effectuated. ....
USAPA’s final proposal may yet be one
that does not work the disadvantages Plaintiffs fear, even if
that proposal is
not the Nicolau Award.
