Bahig Saliba v. Allied Pilots Association

Whethei' a collective bargaining agent has authority to negotiate terms and conditions that impact the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pilot medical certification standards, pilot authorities, and ability to secure a right to compensation created in the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (The Act), and whether The Act gives the Petitioner a private right to action. Whether by adopting and supporting the air carrier’s demands for a medical treatment(s) or procedure(s) that directly impact the Petitioner’s FAA medical certification standards, and by refusing to employ a defense strategy supported by authorities vested in the Petitioner by law during a grievance process, the Respondent abused protections afforded to it by the Supreme Court and the Railway Labor Act (RLA) and failed in its duty to fairly, in good faith, and without discrimination represent the Petitioner.
