Very unlikely.
1. SCOTUS gets a lot of petitions, and rejects the vast majority, even ones which seem to have some merit.
2. I don't think this case has any obvious controversy on point of law or the constitution, unless maybe somebody thinks the current court might be willing to over-turn a great deal of precedent on anti-trust.
3. It would have to go to federal appeals court first, and lose there. You can't go straight to SCOTUS anytime you don't like a ruling. The case was federal right? State courts wouldn't be part of that.
No, ALPA isn't a party to the case. No standing to appeal anything. ALPA could maybe sue the DOJ, on some grounds which I can't think of offhand.

You do realize that the judge in the case is a conservative judge that was appointed by Reagan, right? I don't think conservative vs. liberal plays into the mertis of the case. Sure the DOJ brought it, but who knows if another entity like another airline would not have done the same had the DOJ not beat them to it.
