Given the Company's stance to date and what is at stake, I can't imagine that the CPOs will be allowed to ease up until there is an overall agreement with DALPA on how reserve will work going forward.

It's also pretty cool that the CPOs that are harassing you for following the contract are actually in YOUR union. So much for the "we are here to help" fairy tale

The CPs always play "good cop" and talk about how they're "going to bat for you" "because we're here to help..." but they're sorry, they just can't do anything about the big, bad meanies on the 4th floor ("bad cop.")

I don't trust the CPs a bit.

Back to the question at hand:

Has DALPA been able to restore pay for those following the PWA, and if not, where is the grievance?

It's pretty cut and dry... they will grieve it and the pilots will get their money back in a few months. That's the way the process goes.

IMHO, it's time to put SD and the CP's on notice that this will not be tolerated. I'm not sure if it can be done, but the process to have them thrown out of ALPA needs to begin yesterday. I'm sure it is only a handful that are doing this, but a message needs to be sent to all, the good and the bad one's.

The first thing I'm buying (if I get a real flying job) is a big house with a '69 GT500 in the driveway. So I'll have that covered just in case I get furloughed after a year or two.

We perform duties outside the PWA all the time, like helping with strollers or wheelchairs. The memo clearly disregards specific wording in the contract. Glad to see the union finally stepping up to hold the company's feet to the fire.
