Where in my post did I refer to McCaskill Bond? That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about a regional group signing an agreement to be stapled to a major's seniority list, and whether that would go unchallenged legally after the fact.

It actually can't do that at all. No union can. One side can completely cave in and waive their rights under the law, but predicting that is tenuous. And crediting any union for that is really reaching.

DPA prefers not outsourcing our jobs and enforcing contract language. You and ALPA call that being in conflict with management. Many Delta pilots are coming to see that you just can't always agree with whatever management wants.
