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 |

Several questions there. Since Carl did such a poor job answering, let me help him out.

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.

Delta being able to maintain a first mover advantage benefits the Delta pilots. At the same time, we must work damn hard to ensure Delta pilots maintain their right to perform Delta flying; defining that flying broadly so that the Delta pilots remain relevant.

So when will Havana service start?

I agree with what you are saying however the numbers do not back up your statement. AF/KLM did not grow at our expense. I have posted the charts here.

The one chart posted showing a drop from just over 50% to 46.5 was when Alitalia was added.

Relative to AF/KLM we have been in a very narrow band with no substantial change on either side. Please give SM a call at the union. He keeps track of all the numbers and is very sharp.

What the company failed to do was increase the flying back up to the required minimum of 48.5% after adding Alitalia. They cwill fall about 1% short.

All due respect, but it has seemed to me that mostly the enforcement mechanism is an LOA or a contract renegotiation with the loophole written in. I can give examples of my observations. I can't come up with any where DALPA sued Delta in federal district court. YMMV. |

Expedited Arbitration is contractually specified in the instance you are referring to.

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?

This is not to say I know how ALPA will resolve the AF/KLM/AZ grievance.
