The RJDC came after our flying. They might have won if they weren't so clumsy and greedy. They bit off more than they could chew and they had a bad lawyer.
They didn't lose any ALPA financial support. We ended up paying them off plus their lawyers and we agreed to consult with them on future scope negotiations.
The next attack on mainline scope might not be so inept as the RJDC.
ALPA not only has ethical conflicts but they are still legally vulnerable.
