I wouldn't be surprised to see a figure as high as half to 3/4 of a billion dollars. Would the guys ever see the money? Of course not. That's how our system works. But I will say it may be pretty close to the end of ALPA.

Apparently a neutral source has agreed and thus this verdict. As another said, they apparently settled with the UAL group (my guess, is to avoid obvious self-serving irresponsibility there as well) before any dirty laundry was washed in public and then according to another subsequently isolated their assets.
Perhaps, there isn't anything left to reasonably defend ?

How many out there think ALPA and/or MEC folks will let the pilots community know they just lost a major lawsuit and are responsible for destroying the lives of thousands of pilots for many years.
How many pilots out there will want ALPA respresenting them when word spreads like wildfire they have been found liable for the same.

I don't think ALPA was doing that good before this verdict !!

ALPA is just like the rest of current corporate America and I think both need a HUGE reality check.
I hope the TWA guys get what they deserve. Unfortunately, ALPA will NOT be able to make up for the hardships, and family problems that were caused by their greed.
