"While the West Pilots sought to exercise our rights to a broad injunction to include the recently formed East Pilot Merger Committee, the Court felt otherwise..." Enough said.
All those millions wasted in "leeteegashun", "Integrity Matters" T-shirts, "cactus18 pins", "liberty" ties, even "dire wolf" T-shirts as well, and all of the literally tons of collective flatulence from "sparta" about how "The nic will be crammed down your throats!" notwithstanding....Oh well.
Overall?...I think my heartiest laughter came from the times PHX folks ever even fantasized any lawyers/courts to be their "Righteous" saviors, and of course "Doug" or the APA people to be their "Best Friends Forever". 😉
No matter "spartans"; just continue to enjoy your strange little ride in Fantasyland for so long as you can.....and don't be the least bit troubled by the fact that even the most rudimentary sort of village idiot could've foreseen your current circumstances, since none among your august "leadership" would seemingly qualify as even that much. Perhaps some additional course material and formal training might help them there?

Eastus May 2007: "Umm...Guys/Gals?....This nic thing isn't really going to work. Can we talk?" That was met with the likes of "Booyooshaka!"...."Final and Binding!"...."It's OVER! Get used to it!". A very good thing for the east that "you'se" were "simply" just far too "smart" to even talk back then. 😉
"You'se" mindless love, even worship of courts/lawyers and the legal system in general fully demonstrated levels of childish ignorance and naivete I'd never expected to see in any group of even supposed "professionals"...but in full fairness; there was ZERO intelligence testing done when hiring at AWA.
