What you are missing is the numerous conversations I had with my reps on this. They said we will need to make scope improvements to our contract and that this area of the PWA is in need of new language.

Not only that, the NC negotiated to get new language to prevent this in the future but then we carve out specifically language for carriers that are in violation of the intent, albeit not the legal language of the PWA.

Look, you probably have a different view here, but to me the PWA defines the boundaries of what we as pilots find acceptable in the course of our careers at Delta. I expect most of my encounters to be somewhere in the center of the PWA perimeter. I am not interested in exploring the edges. What we did here is move the fence out a little further in the part of the PWA that specifically prohibits an activity after some complained that they thought the company was in violation.

Same goes for the exemption for the large Business jets at Delta Private Jets.
Here the company was in clear violation of our PWA. Yet the TA codified the violation by specifically permitting 5 large private jets.

Is anything I am presenting factually in error?
