I do believe the company will use the CAL side vs the UAL side for leverage and whipsawing. It is going to get interesting this fall.
Only because DAL management offered an acceptable contract. The SLI was done as per the old book. DAL/NWA announced the merger in April. The pilot's merger committees started meeting for the a SLI in July. The arbritration started in August, and the arbitrated ruling was issued in December. Less than 8 months after MAD, they had a list. We just passed 1 year.
