In short, DAL is seen here as selling out their seniority. I have to wonder what it was worth?
You guys don't get it. Once the SLI is figured out, either through negotiation or arbitration, then the ex NW pilots will be covered by the DL CBA, reaping all the benefits and pay that were negotiated earlier. Why not capture the pay now instead of waiting a few years. Right now, we are separate companies and as such are allowed to negotiate with our own management. Should DALPA be looking out for the NW pilot's best interests? What is NWALPA doing for me?
