There is no arguement FOR 14 days of shortcall without the rest of the package - including their scope clause.
As has been pointed out, DAL reserve can be pretty painful if the category is shortmanned. If you haven't experienced that, you will at some point if you are on reserve. DAL can make it so you get NO days on the lake except your laundry days between trip pieces while you dont break guarantee.
that's a good point, it has to be all of the above if at all.
And if that happens, then the scope clause has to come with it. It's a nonstarter if it doesn't. And I don't mean a take back or % reduction in DCI, I mean SWA scope.
0 outsourcing.
so while yes we would be incredibly overstaffed with the new rules, maybe the new flying would take care of that to the positive.
