USAPAWATCH legal update
“In accordance with the decision of this Court, the judgment of the District Court is affirmed.”
-4th Circuit Court of Appeals
This morning, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals denied USAPA’s request to have their RICO suit reinstated and reaffirmed the decision of the District Court to dismiss the case.
From the beginning this was a malicious attempt by USAPA to persecute and intimidate the minority west pilots. No evidence was ever offered substantiating the claims against the 24 west pilot defendants.
We eagerly await Mr. Cleary’s apology to the defendants and the west pilots as a whole for the Associations actions in this witch hunt.
Unfortunately, this apology will probably never come. In fact, we would be surprised if USAPA even mentions this decision in any of their communications.
Their deceptiveness and vindictiveness shows no bounds. One only has to read Mr. Cleary’s President’s Message to fully comprehend the true mindset of this flawed union.
Stay tuned to TheEye for commentary on Mr. Cleary’s latest repugnant and shameful diatribe.
I trust than in order to be consistent with USAPA's previous legal updates, that the plaintiffs (USAPA) will be identified as the "losers" in the RICO lawsuit.

I just read President Cleary's message and am sick. Here he goes again..Spin control. Things are going to go badly for him when declatory response is given indicating that the company would be liable and that the Nicolou is still the list that was accepted and will need to be used in any future contract. I have read every court document that has been put out, from the Nicolou arbitration, Wake trial and then the 9th's response and I am amazed at USAPA's interpretation of the same material I am reading. PLLEEAASSEE!!!! Read all the documents for yourself. The USAPA updates look ridiculous after you have read the Information. This has nothing to do with being East or West....It's about the FACTS. To say that Doug Parker and the Company are stalling the negotiations is ludicrous. Maybe Mr. Cleary, you have again overestimated, overpromised, and misread these documents and the company is legitimately attempting to protect istself from rightful litigation and MOVE the contract process along with the answer that most of us already understand. The Ninth ruled on RIPENESS..NOT on whether the Nic was fair or just. It was irresponsible of Mr. Cleary and USAPA to allow East pilots to believe that DOH was again in play. All that happened was that West Pilots were going to have to wait for our claims to become RIPE. DFR 2 would then ensue. Doug Parker has done everyone a favor. USAPA's demand for DOH only...would never work in the end. Negotiations could never be completed free from future litigation to USAPA and the company and they understand this. Cleary is unhappy because the Company is bringing what eventially will come to pass...just sooner. When everything is all spelled out USAPA can no longer interpret and preach their own opinions, and in turn give hope to East pilots of a DOH seniority. Mr. Cleary.. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid to move from abstract to concrete. From shades of grey to black and white? Usairways is finally doing what needed to be done from the beginning. Force the issue and make it impossible for anyone to wiggle around the truth and the facts. Hopefully when the response comes it will set everything straight as it should be. Whether you are for it or not is imaterial. The facts are the facts. One last note..funny...but from sources I have at United they are moving curiously towards the same seniority arrangement as the New Delta which ironically is not much different than the Nicolou formulation. You cant say these airlines are Rookies..They just understand what USAPA doesn't.
