Wow, just got a look at the Company's filing to the Ninth. Looks like they have been reading Greeter here on the Aviation Forum! They argue if the POR comes and goes, that their "Hobson's Choice" is gone. With a ratified contract process they will no longer have to worry about work actions. And (hold on..here it comes..wait!) they argue the questions asked in the declaratory judgment become MOOT! Moot!
They go on to talk about the NEW MOU process, and how M/B will solve our/their problems.
I told you guys if you pushed hard enough with your NIC crap the Company would turn on you. This was not just a "no." This was a "Hell NO!"
Judge Silver is going to read the briefs and dismiss the Addington II case right out of the gate. I think the East Class will sleep well when they read the East filing going in tonight. Chock full of law.
As soon as I get the Ninth filing in Word format I will revisit this post with quotes. The one Kirby sent me would not allow me to cut and paste.
