I can't help but chuckle at DPA trying to scare people with this TWA lawsuit. I hope people realize how far from over it is. We aren't going to be assessed. This will be dragged through the court system for MANY more years.
Everyone does realize that in order to be assessed, ALPA members in good standing have to APPROVE the assessment via vote? So they can't just TAKE $$$ from you. The assessment has to be put to vote.

Alright Carl, I'll take a shot at this....
Let's assume the company wants to dump a lot of 50 seaters. These jets are replaced by SOME more 76 seaters and 717/319's. The net result is DCI block hours reduce moderately and ML block hours go up moderately We get ironclad language protecting us from furlough in regards to parking those extra jets, removing seats or flow down (if we choose) Finally, assume we don't cave at a later date with an LOA or concession to remove some of these key restrictions. Is this a bad deal if DCI shrinks and ML grows? Remember these 76 seaters are already at DCI. I don't think we'd be setting any precedence that could be used against us in the future.

I don't fly with many guys who are espousing full restoration. In fact, I cant think of more than one or two. I do fly with a majority of guys who want and expect an immediate and significant increase in pay, 401k contributions, work rule improvements, and scope reclamation. Anything short of a comprehensive offer along these lines, IMHO, will be voted down overwhelmingly.

It's true they may not give them up, but right now we have no protections. You could drive a semi truck through the holes in our Sec 1. We need to close those. It's important to look at it all. I too am looking for a sunset clause, but I'm looking for top end protections as well.
It is critical that we close these holes, but we must do it through "bargaining credits" in other areas of the contract. At least those other areas of the contract can be fought over some day...Scope cannot be.
