That's what I want at a minimum, for the company to honor the contract they signed and not try to weasel out of it. I'm not sure DALPA has the moxie to go for the jugular, but I'm all for it. If management doesn't want to get rid of them, then they can bring them to mainline.
Another thing I like to see is the BS part of the contract that states
'once the number of 76 seaters has been established it will not be reduced' be eliminated because everytime I read that I see red. It's nice to know that they can shrink the mainline fleet without shrinking the outsourced flying! Good move ALPA.
