"[C]ompanies owned and managed by the Mellon Group (owners of
Guilford Transportation) have repeatedly transferred work from
unionized to nonunion groups to avoid their collective bargaining
obligations under the RLA (Railway Labor Act), repeatedly
discharged pilots because they were unwilling to fly in violation
of FAA safety rules, repeatedly refused to comply with final and
binding decisions of system boards of adjustment as required under
the RLA, and willfully violated environmental laws."

accusing the Mellon Group of shutting down subsidiary Pan Am and
transferring the work to another subsidiary, Boston-Maine Airways,
in order to sidestep the union.
