Legal action against government and/or its agencies has a very low probability of success.

But if this effort helps to hammer politicians for their hypocrisy and unethical behavior, we may may see something change. I believe the threat of bad press is far stronger than lobbying dollars from pilots.

No doubt you would have counselled the IPA to just give up in the beginning...insurmountable odds in your myopic vision no doubt against UPS. Yet effective 1/1 we're the highest paid group in the industry.
Now back to your regularly scheduled all knowing.

UPS has made its share of blunders too.
I would only ask, how did UPS support the highest pay in the industry?

Nor UPS for that matter...another pointless point. Par for the course...sigh.

It would be nice to know exactly what I'm fighting for in regards to the new rest rules. Pilots love to talk about safety, but what most of them are hoping for is more pilots underneath them, or less work for the same money. ( Good luck with that ) What will this do to my quality of life and our trip models. Are we looking at 3 on 3 off domestic night trips, Asian domiciles, what???
