-Look at the DCI ratios and the non compliance clause; which is the same term/phrase that has been used before, but has not been modified for the purpose of this domestic ratio agreement, and
-Look at the Delta Private Jets cutout that allows these large biz jets that DALPA filed a grievance for, and from what I heard the company agreed to stop flying them, but we had no official result of the grievance process, but now will be allowed.
These items are what concern me in section 1. A MOU clarifying these parts would go along way in easing many pilots' concerns over the whole section.
I think we all by now get that the ratios do not guarantee growth, just protect from a downturn event that is within the company's control, or not one of the items listed in the non-compliance clause.
Still a fence sitter, but for section 1, these are my concerns. (I still do not like giving up more large jets, not at all, but for now, it appears that for the merits of this debate we need to accept what is in the agreement)
And don't forget the AT pilots coming with the 717s.
Have you gotten anything in writing about that?
Me either....
