Wow. I actually agree with you! There's a first time for everything I guess. My opinion is a little more nuanced however. It's the East pilots who will be attempting to litigate anything and everything for years *after* the MB process has concluded. You guys will be on a multi-year, multi-million dollar self funded campaign attempting to sue your Union, Your Company, Leonidas LLC, the BOA, an attempt at SCOTUS...on and on.
The difference this time is you'll be at the bottom of a legal Grand Canyon trying to jump up to the rim like a grounded Chihuahua attempting to jump onto the roof; in frentic, flailing, spasms; foaming at the mouth only to end up dying of exhaustion - collapsing into a pathtic little sad heap.
End of Story.
