You apparently have lost focus: the entire thread is about whether or not DALPA has reversed their position on arbitration. You seem to think that todays letter from runaMoak means NWALPA "
are liars!". I seem to think that it puts in writing that DALPA is now OK with arbitration......the same expedited arbitration that we offered when the SLI talks broke down and DALPA rejected. Apparently it's OK now, post-announcement, but wasn't OK before. Why would that be? Could it have anything to do with the fact that now, post-announcement, DALPA has a cozy deal with Anderson?
Unlike our attempt to reach a cooperative seniority list integration before the merger announcement, arbitration can have a role post announcement, either through ALPA merger policy or earlier, through mutual agreement.
DALPA
HAD agreement from NWALPA on this before but flatly rejected it.
The only thing that has changed between the time you rejected NWALPA's offer of arbitration and today, where DALPA now says arbitration is fine, is your deal.
Why the Flip-Flop?
