This would be funny if it wasn't something as serious as displacements and furloughs. Are you suggesting the company should not attempt to negotiate mitigation strategies with us before they use the the tools they're allowed in the PWA?
This is a suck sandwich. Would be nice to see something worked out between ALPA and DAL to make it less sucky. Had this situation been the company's fault, I'd have a different view on it.
I'm not surprised they're sharpshooting the PWA in a similar manner (but different scale) than pilots do very month. This forum is full of tips for maximizing pay and time off within the limits of the PWA.
