The only way we would be protected is if:

1. RJ management signs our contract
2. DALPA actually filed a grievance to defend the language.



Not solid at all, yet so many folks are hanging their hopes on this very language. This mechanism of enforcement and whether this language could be legally enforced at all needs to be question one to every rep. Not the MEC roadshows, because they must get this passed at all costs. It's existential for the MEC admins.
