Uhhh, because DPA can only negotiate for Delta pilots and Delta branded business.

Have to start with the Delta livery because its the most understandable and defensible. Later, we can deal with the other forms of ALPA sanctioned outsourcing that you've illustrated here.

Because helping our brothers to the extent that we can is the right thing to do. The complaints about the current language is about the fact that we are forced by the "Meet and Confer" settlement to allow other MEC's to have direct input into our Section 1. DPA would have no such requirement because DPA was not part of the ALPA settlement.

I might go in to the CPO and attempt to get him to give me Thanksgiving off to the maximum extent possible
As an ALPA supporter, you're in no position to complain about language. Your side is the king of meaningless and indefensible language. Indefensible as defined by the very ALPA lawyers who wrote the language.
