btw, per section 1 we are not competing with DCI over what pilot group gets to fly the 717. They will not be going to DCI unless we give them a RAH like exemption and even then not with DAL customers. Unless that's a part of our 2015 scope concessions.
If you had said Alaska then that'd be closer to reality as we are competing with that piloy group over who gets to fly Delta customers on 739s, 738s and the like.
You are correct concerning sec 1 however, THIS TA will not exist if we turn it down. Plan B for the company goes into effect. As the original JCBA fell off of the table when I was not ratified. That opens the door for he DCI plan. The company has a different intent for Alaska which will be made known after this TA is settled because it is contingent upon the outcome of whatever agreement is reached.
