You might be right, but Delta doesn't need a strong case...it just needs any case, since the burden is on DALPA. DALPA must prove that it was unreasonable to interpret the contract in any other way given the circumstances and that Delta was at fault for doing so (I.e, it was not beyond their financial or operational control).
That said, I'm not for the give in scope...but I certainly do want contractual progression to Delta.
