Now if this is true, it is a real motivator to the NWA ALPA group to get this done. I guess that LOA 19 would take effect for the DAL guys until this is done. Interesting. It shifts things a little.
That is the hammer in LOA 19, to provide an incentive to keep moving forward and bring the two groups together sooner rather than later.
If the jpwa took effect w/o SLI, then what incentive would there be to a pilot group to merge the SL's if they thought it was to there advantage? Also, each contract has language concerning successorship that prohibits changing individual contracts without a merged list.
Look at LCC, they did the reverse, wanted a SLI then do the contract, well they are gridlocked because they have no list.
