You would think so FedElta. As a matter of fact, Our ALPA boys (excluding EA; he already knew what kind of agreement was needed, having lived for years at an FDA. But being a "proponent of hysteria", ie, in disagreement with the MEC and others, he was the redheaded stepchild!) did exhausting research in CAN and HKG for our FDA LOA, and came up with the best they could....the Companies initial offer! But, they had a great union subsidized visit during their research.
Our new ALPA reps might be interested, but to late now. The ink has dried. Our old ALPA leaders didnt give a s@$t. I am still waiting to see how they will be rewarded by the Company for their excellent work!

I have always been impressed with the Delta MEC for holding steadfast when they negotiated your 777 pay rates - even to point of parking 777 I do believe. Wish we could have had your solidarity, yet our former MEC Chairman is waiting to go to 777 training - w/out a pay rate.
That was because we had a little clause in our contract that basically said if there was no negotiated payrate, no one could fly the plane. It was traded away during our 2000 section 6 negotiations for higher payrates.
As of now, if there is no negotiated payrate on a new airplane, the company can impose a payrate that sticks until the next contract. Then we get to waste negotiating capital to fix it. That said, we already have several payrates in our contract for planes we don't even have on property.
