I'm absolutely not saying DALPA shouldn't grieve scope violations, I just don't think a grievance on this particular issue has any chance of winning given the facts (specifically for this thread, why a STS ruling that applies only to labor representation for RAH employees changes anything with regards to Delta's contracts with CHQ and S5 since, well, nothing operationally in RAH's airlines changed).
But hey, maybe DALPA *should* go forward with such a grievance, if only to placate a pilot group who thinks their leadership & legal team isn't willing to fight for them. At least that way, when an Arbitrator comes back in favor of the company the MEC can deflect "blame" toward him/her.
I'm glad you've finally just stated your opinion of what our chances are. But you know what they say about opinions.
