Is arbitration now acceptable for DALALPA?
How exactly is/was relative seniority a windfall for dal? DOH would actually benefit me personally but I didn't think it was fair so I supported DALPA's position. Going to arbitration is lazy and is an abrogation of leadership. We can still get together and all benefit from the new carrier's strength. There is still time to get a joint contract and SLI before the deal is done. Your MEC seems to want to continue down its destructive path however. Get in the life boat and stop arranging the deck chairs.
