True.
I think it is easy to see that DALPA is not playing by the ALPA play book of the past. This whole notion is a new idea. Get it done, hug and get on with it before the deal is announced. In theory it sounded good. Too bad both sides did not see it that way.
Even before the seniority lists were thrown together and compared, I though that relative seniority was the way to go. It makes the most sense. Keeps me in my seat you in yours. We are not penalized if we choose to move. I know for a fact with out an accountant or lawyer that what I see in my number will hold true for the rest of my career. Slotted or a re-renegotiated list in five to ten years does not.
Look at it this way. If we do this and get a new agreement and wait for NWA's section six to deal with the SLI, at least the top guys will be gone or on the way out making DOH or relative seniority a non issue.
