From a law perspective: the contract is so lengthy, so wordy, and filled with so many loopholes, that it virtually allows Delta to do whatever they want. The longer contracts are, the more loopholes. The shorter they are, the less loopholes.
Example, the current contract for Pinnacle to fly CRJ-200's for many years into the future was just broken. The contracts were designed to give Delta control. They hold the cards.
Things are playing out EXACTLY like ComAir.....and now ComAir's CEO, is going to be running the show.
Hmmmmmmmm............
Those contracts existed between PNCL and DAL, the bridge agreement is between us Pilots and DAL. If Delta shuts us down in one year, they have to go to court and explain to the judge why they are backing out of the bridge agreement. Exploiting contract loop holes is not just cause, and since Delta management is in control, there are not many factors beyond the control of DAL. Only pilot work action is beyond the control of DAL.
You can't just say there are so many loop holes and not give any examples. The 200's were parked because that's what PNCL management, which is Delta management, decided. The Bridge agreement is a whole other matter.
