The answer will be "no, absolutely not."
That answer is correct. Because it's all but utterly impossible.

That would be wrong. ALPA did no such thing. DALPA made the case against DOH...not ALPA. NWALPA made the case against ratios...not ALPA. An arbitrator decided...not ALPA.

I take it you're quoting something he said regarding the US/AWA SLI. Because he sure didn't say that about the DAL/NWA SLI.

BS. Total BS.

He's advocated it because he believes in it. Most of us believe in whatever methodology gives us an advantage. I know that's just my opinion, but I truly believe it to be a fact. We pilots are too close to be objective when it comes to OUR seniority.
Problem with this ruse from ALPA is that our SLI is now unchangeable. There is no legal framework and no legal precedent to overturn an SLI created during
binding arbitration once that list has been agreed to by management and the two operations combined. Nothing. Not one single time. Never. Thus the twisted interpretation of Lee's pleading regarding USAPA has no bearing on Delta Air Lines. None.
