My point was that if you don't believe the union will enforce section one, THE most important section of our contract, why do would you think they would enforce the other sections? To me it's an all or nothing. Either they will enforce the entire contract or not.
I gotta go! Sorry to "debate and run."

I'm sure there wouldn't be the angst about this that there is had there not been the history by DALPA of not enforcing section 1. The RAH holding company loophole was/is a clear violation of the intent of our scope, but DALPA refused to file a grievance. Time limits of JV balancing are extended by a single MEC administrator which allows imbalancing to continue longer than the original language stated.
This stuff happens. I wish it didn't, but it did. It is for this reason many of us are so uncomfortable with more weak language.
