So I'd guess that DAL will be asking DALPA amend that portion of the contract. We all know that DALPA will be happy to throw that small bone the company's way. DALPA isn't going to fight for something that affects a tiny number of pilots. DALPA will give it up with a few other tiny inefficiences, negotiate a new sick leave bank, and agree on industry leading pay rates. We'll be voting this fall.
The script is pretty well written and rehersals are in full swing. If you want a see a different play, I'd be calling the writers, director, and producer now. But I'd say it is too late. Done deal. JMO
Your post confuses me. We lost staying home on IOE's in the 1113 contract. DALPA fought to get it back and succeeded. When we got it back this web board gave DALPA zero credit and said it was of little or no value. Now with the mere mention of it going away it's suddenly has huge value!
