Thanks it will be interesting to see the result.

I wouldn't worry about that too much at this point.

From what I've heard, I'm surprised they're not going to jail. There's been allegations of deliberate attempts to decieve a civil court and destruction of evidence (which would indicate a conspiracy). Considering the court documents and the result, the assumption that ALPA WILL NOT face a devistaing fine/award is more of an assumption then the opposite.

Without ALPA, where would TWA be? I doubt any of them would be at AA now, and they would have never had recall rights. Did they screw the pooch with the AA/TWA merger? Absolutely, but I don't think TWA is worse off because of ALPA.

1. How long can ALPA tie up the damage award in the court system?
Answer: A long, long, LONG time.
2. How much of the liability rests with the TWA MEC members and how much DFDR insurance to THEY have?
Those are the fundamental questions that remain unresolved.
