Closing a base to evade compliance with a law in a nation in which they wish to continue to operate (and in the immediate aftermath of a judgment against them). Wonder how THAT would turn out.
Easy, they can choose whatever reason they want to to close the base. It's their airline and we're just employees. You're suggesting a court is going to tell a business where to sell its product or what product to make? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?
