If you have read my posts on the subject, you know absolutely what it will take for me to be interested in DPA.. yet all I hear is crickets...
We've been "into it." I've stated my minimum opening before. But since you've apparently forgotten, here's a review:
Pay - 2004 (pre-paycut) rates + COLA for an opener. Or some combination of rates and work rules that results in a comparable W2 to 2004 + COLA. I would consider voting YES to an agreement that gets us SWA W2's +. As a review, that would be over $230K for a domestic narrowbody Captain and over $140k for a domestic narrowbody F/O.
Scope - Do not renew the DCI agreements as they expire. All flying of Delta passengers in aircraft painted with the Delta logo and in Delta colors must be done by Delta seniority list pilots. I would accept as a minimum all aircraft (jet or turboprop) with greater than 50 seats must be flown by Delta seniority list pilots.
Both of these items are crucial in order to get a YES vote from me.
As far as what it would take for you to support DPA. Why don't you email TC and ask him for your "no SLI dispute promise" letter? I have no doubt he would be willing to answer that question to your satisfaction. And if you're not willing to take this step after everything you've written about that issue... well, I don't have a lot of sympathy for your concern. Let us know what you find out.
