Isn't the new United seeking to limit 70/76 seaters? I might be wrong, but I thought that they were somehow negotiating to restrict scope, cut back on the number of larger RJs and filed some grievance over it. Anyone got the facts on that?
Your second point is interesting, what happens if they don't reach consensus? Was there consensus at United?
Welcome to the Delta forums away from the Delta forums!
Just for starters, there are hardcore followers here of the DPA side, ALPA side, and those like myself who fall somewhere in between. My personal conclusion is that the ALPA types are too entrenched and that the methods of actually passing reform are too weighted toward reform not actually happening. I'm not particularly convinced of the DPA yet either....
Anyhoo... I'm eagerly awaiting the outcome of the 50+ seater stuff over at UCAL. Personally it seems like that they are going to hold the line. I don't quite buy the conflict of interest conspiracy.
Each unit typically does their own thing... the problem with our alpa unit is more too simple- inbreeding (as outlined in my first paragraph). As far as national... it is the most inbred of the inbred all shaking each others hands and smiling as another bar is lowered.
