Man, Oldie has left the planet.
First, all the 9th said was that Addington was not ripe. We could file another DFR tommorrow, claiming that usapa is intentionally harming West pilots by sitting on their grievences, or if they changed the profit sharing distribution method, etc. No contract needed.
Second, We keep losing in the courts? hahahahahhahahahah!!!!!!!hahahahahhah!!!!!
Third, We understand what Mr. Parker means when he says the company accepted the list. He is saying, please do not sue the company West pilots, we accepted the list as per our obligations in the TA. The list has gone nowhere, and once we figure out how to abide by our contractual obligations with the West without the reneging malcontents flying off the handle, it will still be the only list we ever accepted.
Fourth, we do not have to prove a majority is harmed in order to win a DOH DFR. Only that usapa failed its duty to the West by reneging on contractual obligations it has to the same. Simple enough, should take less than 2 hours of deliberation if there is ever a next time.
Finally, a union voted in to renege on contracts, harm 1/3 of those it wishes to represent, and fails in its fundemental resposibilities afforded it, is by definition..outside a "wide range of reasonableness".
