Ward Vs. United
I got this letter today about a class action lawsuit on behalf of pilots and flight attendants based in California between 2015 to present. This sounds like something that should be coming from ALPA legal and not an external law firm. I thought we were not supposed to litigate against United without using the grievance process for these types of issues. Thoughts?

If Ward v United Airlines is this case, then it's already settled law by the California Supreme Court last year.
I like this Ward guy. Complying with regs is expensive and I don't like to be the only guy obeying law. Hold'em too it! If I ever get a payout I'll put the proceeds towards a building permit for my shed. Pay it forward.

I flew with Capt Ward multiple times before he retired. Sharp guy and a good union volunteer. I have no idea if the suit has any chance, but he deserves the benefit of the doubt from his former fellow pilots.

if the state of California would benefit, then the suit may likely move forward...Think about it. Increased earnings means increased taxes. If the state believes that the state was denied revenue by some sort of "scheme" by an employer, than the state may also join the suit. It could get rather complicated....
