Dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Today, the court granted Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Counts I-III for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and Count IV for lack of supplemental jurisdiction. As all claims have been finally resolved, the court issues final judgment in favor of Defendants and against Plaintiffs.

From the court docs (too long to post here), basically it's dismissed on judisdictional reasons.

Defendants now move to dismiss Plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. For the reasons set forth below, the court GRANTSDefendants' motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction....

Good luck with that. There is a reason this wasn't the Union's first step. They know most arbitrators will look at Republic's current pilot retention problem and will probably side with them. Training contracts are not new to the industry.

but enforceability has varied from state to state. I'd find a former DEC the company is chasing in a state/base where those contracts were found unenforceable and sue there. Only two places you can initiate the suit, company home state, state where you're based.

having not read the full brief, I do know If the union sued without any harmed individuals from the base/state that would be a big reason for a lack of standing finding.

I'm making more than my folks ever did - I'm fine. And I'm at peace - instead of posting hate.

I'll be a CA by next year and collect another $50k bonus. You'll still be a troll on the net

This... Why hasn't anyone talked about simply breakingvthe contract when heading to a major... Put all bonuses and savings in a high yield savings. When they come at you after breaking, pay back the bonuses and see what happens with the fine portion. If they want it, tell em youll be happy to set a repayment schedule. Its what, a hundred k? Getting to the majors a few years ahead of schedule is worth way more.

If they sue, itll be a lawyer on contingency only so it costs the company nothing. Cant squeeze blood from a turnip.

Thought the contract said that if you go to a legacy partner, you didn’t have to pay anything back?

I believe that stipulation was for the damages Republic could recover from you for leaving early. Bonuses always have been collectible by Republic if you leave before the contracted time no matter where you go.
