Just between us chickens, my theory is the West 300k was a down payment to Marty and the gang. Seems those moneys were "lost in the shuffle." That is the only logic I have ever been able to come up with for the firm taking such a long shot case..300k up front. We will never know.
Membership ratification. It is the only thing that makes any contract, including Section 22, "legal and binding." That is a small point none of you seem to be able to grasp. Doug and Scott could juggle proposals and T/As all day long on the ninth floor..none matter until said ratification. That is a fact.
The Company "accepting" any type of proposal is news.....the pilots actually ratifying it is fact. That is unless you think a Federal Court, Federal Appeals Court, or SCOTUS is going to impose a list. Good luck.....how is that going?
Not going to happen.
