If so, who thought it would be a good idea to give a 477-page reading assignment, where the details are buried? I can't even get my brain to latch on to Section 1. Every time I think I've got it, it runs into an "excused compliance" clause, and I freeze up as I need to reboot.
Still keeping an open mind, but TO's letter and the delivery of this thing... not good.

Can't find the wording for Minimum Daily Pay. What is the new daily pay/credit in the TA?

But...... if DALPA comes out in road shows to explain the contract language in plain English that most of us speak, it is a "sell job". I guess they can't win that, huh?

The question is, where do you get the rest of the candidates when united and usair will also be hiring later.
The issue I have is that this wording further brings the ALPA conflict of interest to Delta's doorstep front and center. It also is contractual and further cements ALPA's position as the bargaining agent for DCI carriers...of which there are some non-ALPA affiliated carriers.
This isn't about unity, this is about ALPA the Corporation.
