I read that bovine excrement that Chip put on here a while ago. What an idiot. Things never change. The Judge already said that the west class does not get a seat at the table, therefore, the only way to make that happen would be if the East agrees to it. If USAPA goes away, they still will not have any standing to require that they have separate representation. I expect that the Judge will likely remove the footnote as requested by the company lawyers, but that has ZERO reason to cause any change in the Judges order. They STILL have no standing in the M/B process. If the APA thinks that waiting or not agreeing to a protocol for the SLI protects them from lawsuits by the East pilots they are sadly mistaken, and you can take that to the bank. The M/B law specifically excludes its use to combine members of the same CBA, that that CBA's merger process MUST be used.
Ain't happening, Chippie.
