Well for starters, the agreement for 35 large RJs is not with EDVALPA, it’s with DALPA. To further that, it’s not for new RJs, it’s for existing ones that are already parked. The 35 parked planes are split between 9E, OO, and YX.
I have not seen the TA, but if it mirrors the Compass agreement the flow only applies to pilots on the ISL the day it is ratified. The flow down for DALPA remains in effect until LOA 9 is renegotiated. The rumor mill is the offer from DAL was a mirror of the Compass agreement to resume compliance with LOA 9. I would not expect there to be many, if any changes if the goal is for DAL to become LOA 9 complaint.
Personally, I want to see what the COL/Escalator raises are and what’s the protections for those of us who are bypassing. I’m not starting over this late in the game. And I’m not impressed with what Compass had for protection.
