Bill,
Where exactly is this document that the company and DALPA are using to support what you have stated? I have never heard anything specific to anything from the company except " we need to be competitive ", and nothing from DALPA except the contract summary posted late last year and if i recall correctly SWA was in there. I am one that says SWA right now based on a seat metric and 3 year deal with 20% at the end of 3 years. My opinion on pay, but scope is another story, I want all 76 seat flying back even if it means buying a regional. Biggest mistake DALPA and DAL did was not work to get Compass stapled and bring in the Jungle Jets.
I believe what you say but I just need to deal with facts and I never had anyone from DALPA say you are not going to get that! Or the company say dream on. If you know of a place to read it I would welcome a chance.
