100%. It is disappointing that some of the loudest voices for this rush deal are folks who have had multiple tries for DL and could have moved on to the big leagues when the hiring market was booming. Instead they expect this deal to be passed expeditiously to get their seat in class before the music stops, at any cost to the pilots remaining.

If the flow is stopped due to arbitration or something else, then at least it cleared out X amount of senior pilots, while also opening the door to a future contractually guaranteed pathway to Delta. What are you crying about?

Some people in a June 7 class are about to be disappointed, but it seems we aren't necessarily expecting this flow to stick around due to arbitration, and plan A should be applying off the street anyways. Hopefully the DGI will remain also.

DALPA does not to agree for this to go into effect. The day Delta and Endeavor sign it it will go into effect, at which point DAPLA will file a grievance saying Delta is in violation of the contract. The agreement will stay in effect until an arbitrator nullifies it or an alternative agreement is reached between Delta and ALPA
First, the agreement has not been ratified and ratification is not assumed. If Delta is rolling out it's strategic preparedness and strike committee (as they are this week) and setting up polling and registration for picketing, that suggests pressure is ramping up on this pretty quickly. This issue has unified the Delta pilots.
The language in the agreement states that it is entirely rendered void if the company does not win its' scope grab.
As I've written elsewhere, the language is below the standard of the average PTA bake sale. This thing is a trite ploy to swing a minor arbitration and was not well coordinated; it is very weak. If faced with Delta pilots in the streets the company may simply decide "not worth it." (that is what I'd do with good 717's sitting on the pavement) I'd expect many of your pilots to be hired to fly those jets.
Wonder how 9E pilots who flowed will feel about Delta scope once they are Delta pilots. Obviously, some are cheering for the Delta pilots to lose the very job protections that ensure the most junior of Delta pilots have jobs.
