I could go on, but suffice to say, the general counsel of DAL is consulted continually.
And you don't think every other major airline, including fNWA has/had the same liability concerns, consultation, and legal issues? This is hardly unique to the DAL culture. Frankly if it was I think they would be a lot more standardized, not less.

Assuming the legal concerns are common, explain the difference between DAL manuals and training. Also explain why flying differently than you train helps that argument. I'll take your response off the air if you prefer, otherwise I'll lend you a shovel
