Default Anybody know status of TWA/ALPA lawsuit

I was in the jumpseat of a AA jet. Capt was an ex-TWA guy. He told me that ALPA's last ditch effort to have TWA's "Failure to Represent" lawsuit dismissed has been denied. He claimed that is is supposed to come to trial sometime this summer. He also claimed that the suit could bankrupt ALPA if TWA wins.

That's all I know about it. Does anybody have any further info concerning this lawsuit?

Gee, a bankrupt, defunct ALPA, how sad!
