What is the next move from DALPA? Grievance/arbitration? It doesn’t seem management has any interest in playing ball with us.
Details of the AIP are 20/month, protected flying quota, and 1.5% annual raises. Endeavor essentially gives nothing (flowback) to gain this. It seems pretty clear that management doesn’t give a crap about the flow, this is a scope grab plain and simple.
To be clear, I’m not against progression for FFD, I was there before. I am, however, against Delta bullying DALPA pilots on scope from both ends.
It would (and does) HAVE to have a flow down to satisfy LOA9? I mean that LOA does not exist to protect career progression of DCI pilots, it exists to protect flow down rights of mainline pilots.
I agree with you on your last point, I’m all for improved career progression for DCI pilots, but not at the expense of SCOPE.
on a separate note, any idea how this will work? Will 9E pilots with double no’s and/or no degree be able to flow? Will they be able to apply outside the flow? Genuinely curious if anyone at EDV has details on this.
