I sort of wonder about 9E ALPA pushing for flow up, and where were they in DL pilots' moment of need when, some three thousand of us were initially projected to go to the street? (Then ultimately became nearly 2,000).
I just think it's poopy and further illustrates this does nothing for current DL pilots (as far as I can tell).
And-again-I think agreements should not be one sided.
There is no need for me to search my feelings if there is nothing objective gained in this "agreement."
There should be no frustration with 9E.
DALPA should kill LOA 9 with their own arbitration process or negotiating capital.
It is out of line for a Delta pilot or DALPA to request 9E use their negotiating capital to help DALPA kill LOA 9.
A flow up for flow down is quid pro quo even if your too senior to benefit.
There is definitely a professional conflict of interest in play, but it should not generate animosity.
Should 9E quit negotiating for hourly raises because it reduces DALPA negotiated profit sharing?
