It is very timely now to do so Scambo. But DALPA will not do that. As Bar stated above, DALPA will negotiate this non-compliance away before March 31, 2015 to prevent a PWA violation...which would then force DALPA to file a grievance. But DALPA doesn't want to harm our partner. Period.
When we negotiate away this non-compliance, we will definitely get a statement from the MEC administration stating how valuable the quid is that we extracted from management. Bank on it.
