I suppose that this ruling now makes the nominations for Polar's next generation MEC to be moot. In fact, preliminary preparations should soon begin as to who will be involved with the new soon-to-be single MEC, be it ALPA or Teamsters.
Also, could this ruling have interpretive effect on the awaited Bloch decision (pre-mature furlough / dismissal of Polar's 50+ flight engineer crewmembers)?
