And our NT says, "OK, but they WILL BE FLOWN by DELTA PILOTS!!"

And RA says, "OK, fine, let's put all the Pinacle pilots on the Delta Seniority list, straight date of hire, and on the Delta Pilot Contract."

Or words to that effect.

Now What?

What should our NT say to that? Yes? No? Staple or...?

Discuss.
Simple. The answer is NO. Why? Because that's not what's in SWAPA's scope and it's unreasonable to ask of us something that's not in the contract of our less profitable competitor. To the NMB? Same answer.

Next!
