I feel that dalpa might win the violation, but an arbitrator might point to the fact that this deal was signed before in good faith so this deal will press on with Endeavor. The harm is now made whole. Delta needs these planes to recover, they are not profitable! By grounding these good money makers will shunt the airline and really profits. I would think delta pilots would almost agree to this. Since negotiations most likely are not going on, kicking this down the road might be in everyone best interest. If profits are made faster, section 6 negotiations can resume quicker.
We have lawyers too, and according to our MEC Chairman they think we have a very strong case. My MEC speaks for me. The language is actually quite clear, if you take the time to read and understand it. Almost all the arguments to the contrary here take an incredibly simplistic view.

If Delta needs to service more routes, we still have 50ish aircraft parked. Use them.
