I disagree with those that say nothing has been achieved on this board. So much learning has occurred. Here is a nugget of wisdom from Nov. 2011:
"'Res Judicata'
True that USAPA may attempt to fight the importation of Addington evidence but every indication is the Judge will allow it. You guys have a very different legal team moving fwd. and they seem to be focused on cleaning up the Mess $e$ham left you. It wouldn't surprise me if USAPA doesn't fight the importation. I won't go into detail, but I'm getting the April time frame from folks who have intimate knowledge off all the moving parts to this. West Legal, East, (new) Legal, Company Legal, and the work habits of Judge Silver. Once she starts a case, she stops everything until it's finished. Luckily, thanks to Cleary's moronic illegal job action and the accompanying Injunction, the case now has her attention. This will move very quickly after Dec. 1st and the ball will be dropped in the company's court where they will act sooner rather than later. This has gone on long enough.
By "over" I mean the legal noose will be fully clamped around USAPAs neck and their feet are fully off the ground. The majority on the East will not entertain years more abuse for a handful of angry FO's. They let you drive the ship the last several years and you guys buried it in the ground. Even if under appeal I expect the company to come up with a contract that will pass 51% and do what they can to force a vote on it. The BPR is already under tremendous pressure to get a contract. When Kasher fails and Silver hangs liability on the company and they refuse to entertain DOH, the BPR will either acquiesce to the majority or be thrown out. The AFO's will be fully unable to stop the momentum towards getting OFF LOA93 ASAP when those two pieces fall into place.
That will be by this April. The first contractual vote...NIC Inclusive...will pass 85%"
Man, it sure is hot for April.
