The Judge isn't going to direct the pilots to do anything. If he issues the Injunction, it's going to be against USAPPY. I read Cleary's cross examination. He's an idiot. My favorite part is where he waxes poetic about how great the "safety" relationship was between ALPA and the company before the merger. When asked exactly WHO was in charge of safety/flight ops at the time Cleary can't remember. Odd considering he claims to have worked very closely with these people for years isn't it?
The really funny part is where Seigle informs Cleary that those people back then were actually Paul Morell, Lyle Hogg, and Ed Bular...just like today. "oh, i didn't know that"
Cleary is going to be the end of USAPA....I can't wait.
He was Bit** Slapped by the company's lawyers on the stand and easily showed to be an Angry little
LIAR.
Did you read what the company is asking for from the judge? He is asking him to have USAPA tell us what to do and not to do. Maybe you were too busy reading Cleary's testimony to read the company's filing. Here's a great little section:
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief as follows:
1. That this Court issue a Preliminary Injunction and a Permanent Injunction,
restraining and enjoining Defendants USAPA and Cleary and USAPA’s members, agents, and
employees, and all persons and organizations acting by, in concert with, through, or under it, or
by and through its orders, pending a hearing on the permanent injunction in this matter, from
calling, permitting, instigating, authorizing, encouraging, participating in, approving, or
continuing any interference with Plaintiff’s airline operations, including, but not limited to, any
slowdown, strike, work stoppage, sick-out, work to rule campaign, concerted refusal to accept
voluntary or overtime flying, or other concerted refusal to perform normal pilot operations in
violation of the RLA, 45 U.S.C. § 151 et seq.
