Like I said, it's a very interesting point to consider. Under USAPA there is not a mechanism for east west negotiations for a new CBA. Just the company and USAPA. Since ALPA would officially be off the property how could a new CBA be negotiated? We believe that ALPA rules and procedures will be replaced with USAPA block representation and voting. After the challenges, we also believe the USAPA mechanism of governing will prevail. Not ALPA's.
USAPA was not a party to the TA, so independent ratification remains. Your only hope for stripping the voting rights of the AWA pilots is for Prater to combine both MEC's in trusteeeship. Would the motivation for USAPA be gone then? I think the vast disenfranchisement of pilots on both sides would make USAPA the shortest-lived union in history.
It probably already is.
