No offense intended in this, but I am looking forward to serving you a huge plate of crow
The plain English text in the LOA speaks for itself. It
is one sided.
No offense taken, but I don't see why I would need to eat crow. I've not said that total exclusion and one-sided furloughs is definitely the strategy of DALPA. I've simply said that the LOA as currently structured ALLOWS for this to happen at the sole discretion of Delta Airlines management. It doesn't leave you with a very warm feeling to know what is POSSIBLE.
