FAA sees ASAP programs as a very good thing. Today's FAA does not stand in the way of ASAP programs. The hold up with our ASAP at Delta was management. Eventually, management came to understand ASAP was a good thing.
Our current LOA covering ASAP is in our PWA. Thus it survives a change in representation like all other aspects of the PWA. Anyone on either side making the case that some portion of our PWA no longer applies because it says ALPA somewhere will quickly get a lesson in labor law and NMB rules.
ASAP stays in place exactly like it is if DPA is voted in. Were there any question whatsoever on behalf of management, getting FAA clarification on the issue of Delta's ASAP will be quick and easy to get.

Dunno 'bout that. MOU 3 seems to say that the 3 way MOU isn't part of the PWA?
the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) is the result of an agreement between the Company, the Association and the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) based on FAA AC 120-66B and which was codified in a Memorandum of Understanding dated January 15, 2009, which is not part of the PWA
