Pdo & Falconjet,

I am not about to rewrite my diatribe(s) on this from the 'FDA Nightmare for Junior Pilots' thread, but CaptainMark's rumor seems to hint with no LOA they plan on junior manning there and force ALPA to grieve the violation. They will win too, a look at industry arbitrations over the past 7 years will lead you to believe the same. Pdo, the NW mechanics, Mesaba pilots/mechs/FA's, and the Comair pilots/FA's have all tried to go to court to make the argument that such contract breeches should force self-help. They all lost. I'll let more politically inclined peeps discuss why.
