lowering ALV by 5-10 hours is not destroying our contract. Getting rid of top end of ALV, loosening scope, lowering pay rates are all things that would make our contract less desirable. To my knowledge none of these have been proposed.

I hate to break it to some of you but a BK judge will cut what needs to be cut, regardless of how much we “don’t give an inch”. We can hold strong all day long but as long as section 1113(c) of the US ch 11 Bankruptcy code still exists, a trip to court negates any “holding strong” we do.

For now the cuts proposed don’t cause us to lower rates or erode work rules like ADG, if we keep saying no to anything and everything the company offers and DL goes to BK; rates will be lowered significantly and we will be working more days for less credit.
