That may be the real reason for the prior scope settlement as well. If Moak had proceeded with the grievance and forced DAL to park those 76 seaters then the DCI pilots would have sued ALPA.
The relevant portions of our scope clause were negotiated without going through ALPA's stated policy of consulting with the RJ guys as called for in the RJDC settlement agreement.
Its a fine mess were in.

Now we've apparently lost the TWA suit. We're all going to get to pay for that too. ALPA's legal team is on a roll.
