Jack,
To me details are very important when dealing with such issues as scope and code share! We are in this mess because of such oversights and lack of attention to detail (republic operating cert., AF/KLM code share, SEA de-classification as a hub and ALaska code share.). So i would say yes details are important and DPA is selling themselves as better and superior to DALPA. This certainly is not the product I would expect of a professional organization representing me at the bargaining table. DALPA let small details go and look what happened. A reason I signed the card to explore my options, but although still a supporter of an alternative to ALPA this "minor
" oversight of detail makes me think otherwise. If DPA wants to learn from the past and represent us, they should be hyper about attention to detail.
