I guess its possible, but why would DALPA even want that? Would the large portion of non-military guys want to make it easier for military guys to manipulate their schedules to the detriment of all non-military pilots? Like I said I am having a hard time following your logic.

Scoop, you are corrrect on USERRA. Neither the company, union or contract between the two has anything to do with military leave. Delta found that out in 1987 when they attempted to force a Western Pilot on active duty back to work. It ended up with the CEO of Delta have to write a personal letter of apology to the pilot in question. Knowing how much RA liked pilots I doubt it was a easy letter for him to write.
