I might also add, that when we are found to be out of compliance the period of being out of compliance will go back three years so we may in fact find out that while we are in compliance today, when we look back we may find out we were not in compliance today.

Look at it this way, if the company builds a time machine and sends Arnold Schwazenegger back in time to renegotiate with DALPA and............... never mind.


On the Pacific stuff I agree that there is potential and it may be a good move. I have been talking to my reps about it and am willing to let it play out for a couple of months.

My only heartburn is that if the company makes no effort whatsoever to comply in the Atlantic what makes us think that will comply with the next deal in the Pacific?

It appears the company negotiates a deal, does whatever it wants anyway, DALPA does not challenge the company but works out a deal. Lather, rinse, repeat. If DALPA keeps backing down and never challenges the company sooner or later, oif not already, DALPA will be taken for granted.

My 2 cents
