Not to mention the fact that it has already been proven the Co will violate the scope clause like it was simply a suggestion in the contract. I'm not feeling like giving more relief until we start complying with what we have now. Fool me once.......

We might as well just delete Section 1.
That would be more intellectually honest than going through the "constructive engagement" kabuki dance every few years.

DALPA has never enforced the scope clause. They just amend it whenever the company wants to do something that doesn't comply.

How about in return each pilot chooses a section of the contact they get to ignore? Each month you bid a new section. Sounds fun.

Commuting Policy Changes
Does anyone else find the timing of the rewritten Commuting Policy in the FOM (Ch. 11, Sec. 5) a bit suspicious? Maybe DALPA has a plan for some concessions to restore the status quo.
The removal of offline flights as a viable commuting option is a huge negative for NYC especially. What percentage of NYC based pilots use an offline commute as part of their plan with a Delta backup? How many former Dallas pilots commute on American with a Delta backup?
How many pilots are stuck with an AE from the last few bids they would not consider under the revised policy? I'll start the count at 1.

But DALPA has nothing to do with the FOM. I'm sure there is a reason someone made a bad decision on the fourth floor to get a promotion. again. Like the dude that took transponders and beacons off the pushback checklist.

Yes, I understand the FOM is outside of the contract. I just find the timing of a stricter commuting policy interesting. Post two AE bids that involve making commuting decisions, then change the policy right before the most difficult time of year for commuting. Maintaining the status quo in the contract, can then be considered a "win" at the negotiating table for DALPA.
NYC is the most difficult base to staff and also has the largest number of offline commuters. Who is the genius that decided to make offline commuting less desirable? Many NYC commuting plans include a mix of JetBlue and American with Delta backups. Under the new policy American and Jet Blue are no longer options the company considers viable.

I agree its a messed up rewrite. Non-sensical really.

I consider myself a disney expert. There are no discounted rates on disney tickets other than military and Florida resident. The hotel prices on property change with season and availability, but again they are no discounts. I highly recommend going in January, May, or September. Those are the least crowded months. It is always crowded. Over crowding takes the fun out of it. It's too much money to not have fun. The price on perks is the exact same price you will get at the park after paying the fee to the vendor.
