It's called a DFR lawsuit. Which is what would happen if ALPA allowed mainline pilots to recapture flying at the expense of RJ pilots-- ALPA is equally obligated to both groups. :eek:

I guess we can expect the DFR suits to be flying in if this TA passes then. :D

Good thing ALPA has insurance for stuff like that.
Oh, they don't? :cool:

So if that is true, can we sue ALPA for allowing UALALPA for dragging the rest of us down? Dude if you are aligning yourself with bacon bits' philosophies you might want to rethink your stance on a BUNCH of issues..

I think his point was that for DCI there is a quid pro quo in the form of the 76 seaters.

If we put the 76 seaters at mainline (however it would have to happen) and as a result drew down the 50 seaters aggressively, there would be a definite DFR lawsuit.

Maybe, but I doubt it. Our contract (DALPA's) is with DAL. We can tell DAL whatever it is we want wrt scope and who does what flying, and if they agree to it it is up to DAL to re-negotiate the contracts with DCI. We are in no way doing anything directly to DCI other than telling them they cannot fly sirplanes for DAL. They can continue to fly 50 seaters until the cows come home.. they just cannot do it for DAL. They can probably negotiate some deal with USAir... from the way it sounds they are gonna be needing lots of RJs if their offer passes..
