I highly doubt DALPA will give in on this.

Past practice disputes your confidence in management's compliance, as well as ALPA's enforcement.
Furloughs
could have been avoided entirely during the past decade.
I like that our current agreement front end loads the compliance language. The rub is, we do not know who Skywest ordered the MRJ's for, or for that matter what Republic is up to. We used to have the lead time on aircraft orders to estimate compliance by. Now we are caught in a more reactive environment because of the pure momentum (size and velocity) our so called "partners" have.
We really need to stop outsourcing.
