The Delta pilots do not want arbitration because they think they have the pay, working conditions, fleet, growth and better bases. Any meeting in the middle is going to be less than the DAL pilots already have.
Apparently not rumor - Delta MEC authorizing trip drops for Strike Preparedness Committee members and permits have been requested for picketing. Maybe both MEC's preparing for organized resistance.
Worst scenario - "merger lite" and whipsaw. ALPA has lost its way on scope. I'm not convinced that ALPA has enough CCC structure to avoid the garbage that has gone on at DCI up at mainline.
Bar,
We are in agreement as to what we think happened. (Which is a surprise)
But, as far as question #2, what do you think the NWA MEC should have done? What would you have wanted your MEC to do? Screw you just to save face?
The questions came about because one of you said that you would rather go to arbitration before accepting the NWA groups offer?
I am just wondering why? Especially if you don't know what the last offer was.
