A contractually specified penalty is popular, but is it the best way forward? An arbitration award can scale with the degree of the violation.
In contrast if we were to try to negotiate a severe penalty for any degree of noncompliance, no matter how small, the Company would not agree. Of course anything can be bought, but is that where you would want negotiators using their capital, or would you prefer the current remedy which is scalable?
I have served as a panelist in three forums over the years. While never sitting on a labor case, my experience in inter-company dispute resolution always had very straightforward outcomes.

This is not to say I know how ALPA will resolve the AF/KLM/AZ grievance. There are much better experts on our MEC who deal with this stuff. I am just an observer in the bleachers.

SD's latest letter said we would have more than $4.5 billion in pre tax profits. Anyone want to hazard a guess at what the PS on that will be?

Quick question. I was just assigned a trip with a 9.20 rest with a DHD following, does anyone know if this adheres to the contract? I'm looking but haven't found anything yet.....

If they are longer then you need a 10 hour break.
Look at 12.G.2

I heard that your Feb 14th PS amount will be double the size of the one that we got in Oct. If you got $10K in Oct then you will get $20K in Feb.

It is impractical (for reasons of legality, even if economics are ignored) for Delta to fly every Delta passenger from every point across our network. Having a broad, convenient, international and domestic network improves marginal revenue ... we probably are not a sustainable business without it.
It's actually very simple: Representing pilots. When you've moved on to another agenda that is different from representing pilots, you say it's complicated. Nobody buys it anymore Buck.
While Delta pilots have a contractual right to all Delta flying, the definition of "Delta flying" is anything but simple. The Delta MEC has led, and continues to expand it's lead, over the rest of the profession when it comes to strategically planning, negotiating and implementing labor protective provisions.
Much of the progress we have made as a Company, a pilot group, and as leaders of our Association has been the result of a unique corporate culture which allows us to work together. When you consider what has happened elsewhere: American struggled with scope for 15 years just to have a Judge impose a several year old version of Delta's language and United's agreement also mirrors ours.
