Glad to see us tackling the protection of our charter flying. Also, they are looking hard at this RAH situation.
Totally wrong Bar. DALPA has just surrendered on the RAH situation. We just lost because we surrendered. Even IF we recalled every officer and the new team filed a grievance, that email just made the case FOR management. DALPA knew that and did it for just that reason.
This will have very far reaching consequences between now and if/when we get our next contract. With this precedent, there are no more limits and no more scope protection. Delta can now maneuver into operating 747's or anything other aircraft via this corporate shell game. Our only hope is in the mercy of Delta management. If they want to systematically outsource every one of our jobs, it is now entirely within their legal right.
