USAPA was formed by East pilots for the exclusive and immoral - if not illegal - purpose of attempting to renege upon the results of a binding arbitration into which the East pilots had previously entered with the West pilots. After USAPA's dissolution, a number of East activists withheld millions of dollars from the entire membership. During the fair representation trial, USAPA used as courtroom witnesses East pilots Sully Sullenberger and Jeffrey Skiles of the infamous Hudson River flight 1549. Both witnesses testified in support of the discriminatory practices of USAPA, and why they felt justified in bullying, and attempting to break their arbitrated agreement with the innocent West pilots.
