Answer to Question 1

No. The purported reason that the plaintiffs had resigned from Eastern was deemed pretextual in that the IAM had taken its position during the Eastern bankruptcy that the plaintiffs merely transferred to Trump. Substantial evidence supported the jury's determination that the real reason leading to the negotiated diminishment of seniority rights was the plaintiffs' association with AMFA, a rival union.
