Hence, not ALPA's fault - it's the pilots greed. Own up!
The B767 300 is a Legacy UAL airplane. Surely ALPA would understand that, and since Delta pays it correctly, which is also ALPA, then it should not have anything to do with integration. The L UAL pilots were flying that on the 76T. The B756 CAL pilots never flew the 300 under any contract.
I see it as a simple fix to a contract, and a subsequent extension. Not requiring any sort of major re-write.
The ALPA National President signs the contract last, so it would lie squarely on his lap.
