You must have glossed over the meaning of latent ambiguity...it can be clear, specific, non-ambigious, straight-forward, plain as day language that is ambiguous due to circumstances.
Can DALPA show that it was operationally reasonable for Delta losing $20+ million a day to keep Compass open? Or was that out of their financial control?
I know we all have our biases for wanting to believe something to be true...but the unbiased look is that Delta and DALPA both think they have strong cases..the answer is probably somewhere in the middle.
The company doesn’t have a strong case. They need to cover flying for the summer, this was the new and improved way of bending over the pilot group legally. DALPA will win this when company no longer needs the 35 large RJ’s anyways.
