Shortly, I guess when you say both sides will be worse off you're meaning CX and the AOA. You seem to be forgetting that the 49'ers are still represented by the AOA and if they get any recompense through the courts for their financial losses and character assasination they cannot be worse off. Yes, its ashame that lawyers have to get involved and increase everybodies costs but that is the position we are left in.
TSI thanks for confirming that your hypocrisy enables you to replace a 49 F/O.JFO or SO.
