The DGI can be taken away completely tomorrow if the company wants to do that, because it was never signed by our collective bargaining agent which is ALPA. The company can also change the terms and conditions on that document on a whim, because it wasn’t signed by ALPA. This isn’t a knock on ALPA, the goal is to get something better. Hopefully ALPA achieves that goal.
Somewhat true/false. There is a small group where the DGI is contractual. Those guys were hired from the start of 2015 to July of 2015.
