Description
Per Curiam These appeals arise out of the adjudication of an action for declaratory judgment (Title 28, Section 2201, U.S.C.) brought in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division, by Capitol Airways, Inc., plaintiff, against The Airline Pilots Association, International, defendant. The parties will be referred to as Capitol and ALPA, respectively. Capitol brought the action in the District Court for a declaration that four awards, in favor of grievants, Riley, Hull, Gerhard and Carlin, and against Capitol, made by The Capitol Airways System Board of Adjustment (referred to herein as Board) were invalid. The court on motions for summary judgment sustained the awards as to Hull and Gerhard and held the awards in favor of Riley and Carlin invalid. Capitol appealed from the adverse ruling on the Hull and Gerhard awards, and ALPA filed a cross-appeal from the adverse ruling to it on the Carlin and Riley awards. The opinion of William E. Miller, the trial judge, is reported at 223 F. Supp. 168. We agree with his conclusions as to the Riley, Hull and Gerhard awards. Capitol argues that the trial judge did not make a de novo interpretation of the contract. In our opinion, the arbitration clause of the collective bargaining agreement was susceptible of the interpretation placed upon it by the Board and the district judge was right in sustaining the Board. We affirm the judgment of the District Court on these three awards on the opinion of District Judge Miller.
