It seems that most of us have moved past it... unlike the situation at US Airways. So, to compare DPA with USAPA seems to me like an apples to oranges comparison. While the two organizations may share some of the same goals, I don't think overturning the SLI is one of them, and it certainly doesn't appear to be one of the planks in DPA's platform.
While I personally am not completely happy with the SLI, there is NO WAY I would ever support reopening that can of worms. The arbitrator made the decision and it is what it is. As far as I am concerned my hope is that the combined company with thrive and the benefits will outweigh any perceived loss I feel.
