ALPA has been playing this game of "we want to fly this and will protect those jobs" and "we don't want to fly that and we will try to limit them" for years.

We will see what happens. ALPA has a tough road these next 12 to 24 months. I am sure they are aware their future on the property depends on how Section 1 is handled. Combine this threat with the TWA lawsuit and ALPA is facing challenges which are existential.
Just hope DALPA realizes this contract is Career Critical. DPA may just get a shot if there is anything left.
