If you want to read an excellent example of precise and unambiguous legal drafting, you should read the attached JV Settlement Agreement. It was written by seasoned legal professionals, experts in contract law.

Unfortunately for the DAL pilots though, these experts were sitting opposite from Mike Donatelli and Hartley Phinney.

It will only take a couple of minutes of your time to read. As you read each line, ask yourself "who benefits from this provision"?

You don't have to be a lawyer to recognize just how one sided the Settlement Agreement is.

How is it that Donatelli and Phinney agreed, on their own without MEC input or approval, to such a lopsided “deal” and then kept the terms of that “deal” secret from both the MEC and the pilot group? Can someone explain that to me?
