Why no update for so long? How does the Leonidas founder look his fellow donors in the eye, and ask for more? The interesting thing that will crash the damages party big time is the Prater dissertation about how separate ops can go on for the long haul. There is NO mandate that says the deal has to be merged. All you need to do is trot out the Polar/Atlas ALPA abortion as exhibit One. Of course your ace Wake wouldn't let that into the courtroom! Had that one been let in the door as it should have, it would have shut the Addington deal down right there. And you thought you had a victory! Hollow at best. Seham knew right then and there that Wake was going to get his britches lowered by the 9th, and he was right on. Koontz's damage promise cannot stand on its' own two feet without Wake keeping the truth out. Imagine how Koontz will try and tell you that you can argue damages, when the ALPA president himself says the two sides can operate separately indefinitely! And brother Wake is not there for the cause! So how do you make a case for damage in that context? Simple, your case dies on the vine. Koontz never dealt with that little nugget did he? The only damage has been to your wallet funding the strangely named army.
