Most importantly, helping the company write a document that explains why we're giving away NRT slots is not one of the clearly defined special circumstances in the DPA constitution.So no worries shiznit.

This isn't spin Carl? You want to argue facts, but then you toss out your 'opinion' as if it were fact.
The fact is the company can do whatever they want with the NRT slots, including drawing them down to zero. Our leverage comes from the fact that they would like to maintain the codeshares they currently have in place. Your negotiators are attempting to capture more of the Pacific flying, which is currently a vulnerability.
Here's a question. How do you think the DPA would handle the NRT slot issue with mgmt? Would they have told Delta to pound sand? What reasonable gains can your organization provide me in this regard?
I'm still waiting for the master plan. Show me how DPA is going to improve my life and I may renew my card. So far I don't see it.
