Well this is interesting.

The International Energy Agency said in its*World Energy Outlook 2012*report that the US could overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's top oil producer by 2017 and become a net oil exporter by 2030."Energy developments in the United States are profound and their effect will be felt well beyond North America – and the energy sector. The recent rebound in US oil and gas production, driven by upstream technologies that are unlocking light tight oil and shale gas resources, is spurring economic activity – with less expensive gas and electricity prices giving industry a competitive edge – and steadily changing the role of North America in global energy trade," the report said.

The case was split in two. That's why it ended up being called Duke/Spellacy. Duke and Spellacy both won in the trial but ALPA agreed to a settlement with the Duke plaintiffs before the jury could rule on damages. The amount of the settlement was never disclosed but ALPA had to sell their building in Washington to pay for it.
The Spellacy plaintiffs refused to settle. They won the jury verdict but the judge ultimately threw out the verdict "as a matter of law". The Spellacy lawyers then appealed that ruling. That's the appellate court cases you are reading. The appeals court upheld the district judge's decision to throw out the case. So ALPA won.
Turned out they would not have had to pay Duke but it was too late. The settlement was a done deal. A lot of people said it nearly bankrupted ALPA but the people who know how much it really cost have never talked.
SPELLACY II v. AIRLINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL III, No.

Amazing...if I'm reading this correctly, no ER FOs were displaced system wide. Looks like quite a few first-time captains as well. Lots of churn at the bottom, of course. Craziest part I saw is they actually awarded 10 ATL767A spots...who'd a thunk?

Strange that outside parties look at results and come to strikingly different conclusions than you...Still comfortable in that back seat?

Man, the West Coast is now even more senior, unless of course you work for Alaska then your career is smoking along! More stagnation and QOL decline, but at least I did not get bumped!
