Given the overlap between the RLA and bankruptcy law in this case, I don't agree that the Judge overstepped his bounds as much as y'all think. If it were a black and white decision, there would be picket lines up already.
It's one thing to hold the gun to management's head, but I for one would prefer that judges take the time to review their decisions, and not rule based on deadlines set by warring factions.... This is new trail as far as case law goes, and because it certainly will be the basis for future arguments and appeals, he did the most prudent thing he could.
And, I suspect that in the end, AFA will be left with the right to strike, and should do so IMMEDIATELY once cleared to do so.
Their mistake all along has been advertising the time and place.
