“The suit, which was filed without advance notice to USAPA...”

-USAPA NEWS FLASH July 26, 2010

It is clear that yesterday’s court filing has plunged USAPA into full panic mode. In their haste they stated that they will ‘vigorously oppose this lawsuit.’  But one must ask why they are so ‘vigorously’ opposed to this filing? Didn’t they promise us with supreme confidence that the law was on their side? Didn’t they guarantee us that US Airways would be more than willing to negotiate seniority? 

Why are they so fearful of the company’s request?

Mr. Seham and Mr. Cleary are worried and this update clearly reflects it. 

One little tidbit that Mr. Theuer conveniently left out in his not so timely news flash was the likelihood that Judge Silver will transfer this docket to the Honorable Judge Neil Wake. 

The lion has roared and USAPA is running for cover.
