I find your answers fascinating (the 9th's opinion too). Let me see if I have this straight, these are facts:The 9th did not embroil itself in the bargaining process because they found it fruitless to speculate about the possible conclusions of the matter. Do you think we have a more accurate crystal ball than they do?
1- The east demands doh in arbitration, doesn't get it
2- The east forms a union for the sole purpose of obtaining doh, the east Instills doh as the FIRST tenet of usapa constitution
3- Usapa serves management with a doh list.
So I think you know very well what seniority position usapa will take and accept. But why don't we play the hypothetical?
Let's say the court says the same thing the 9th said " negotiate under pain of ripe dfr" and gives the company immunity from the west. At this point the company will just accept whatever list usapa gives them(doh). Under this hypothetical scenario I gave you, what do you think the chances of usapa being found guilty of dfr are? Hypothetically of course
