DAL MEC open to "expedited" arbitration? True? Change, or last resort?

In a good mood tonight Fin?

You apparently have a reading comprehension problem. I have highlighted additional words from the Moakster in the same quote for you....and made them RED.

Is that any more clear?

Wow, see how easy that is to do and to make someone's post exactly how you like to read it! No need for spin.
This is fun. Don't get your panties further in a wad sparky, nothing has changed!

Um, that's what I said, you guys are looking to fight over the color of grass. Go right ahead, see where it gets you.

The choices:

1) Negotiate a joint contract, which will effectively negate LOA 19, you know, the one that left you out. We had a joint contract before, it should be easy this time, relatively speaking.

2) Post contract, negotiate an SLI, with joint concurrence

3) Post contract, negotiate an SLI under ALPA merger policy with a triggered PID--let me know if you guys need an explanation of what that is.

4) Mediate, and arbitrate an SLI via ALPA merger policy--binding--and see if NWA pilots try and pull a coup ala USAIR

One other option is for NWA pilots to use a scorched earth policy wherein NWA dismantles NWA routes, sells off the unwanted and Delta pilots gain massively

Face it guys, you are not in the game because of your MECs choosing. You have seen the Delta MEC positions. Enough has been leaked. Yet I have not seen a legit NWA position. Could it be that was indeed SO ugly that they do not want anyone to know what it is? Let's talk about the opener, worse than DOH, and then lets talk about where the final table position was.

better yet, let's save the NWA pilots the embarrassment of being labeled what they have attempted to label the DAL pilots and settle thing.

Get it?

I notice you didn't include the heart of what I quoted, so here it is again:

RunaMoak said:

arbitration can have a role post announcement, either through ALPA merger policy or earlier, through mutual agreement.

By his own words, arbitration can have a role earlier than ALPA merger policy through mutual agreement.

Either Lee doesn't know how to put what he really means in writing, or you didn't get the internal memo that the message has now changed.

Perhaps you can enlighten us all on some of the specifics of the two relative positions pre and post LOA 19. So far I have heard nothing but rumors, speculation, and accusations from both sides.

Nobody wants to burn the house down, but who is going to accept a joint contract which sacrifices their seniority and career progression in exchange for an extra hundred bucks a month. Does anyone honestly think there won't be any furloughs?

On a side note, does anyone know how arbitration would be affected post LOA 19 vs pre LOA 19?

Fins:

Why do you think he says it's OK now, post announcement, but not OK before? Hmmmmmmm.

It's not that hard to understand. Pre-merger our guys opened with a middle of the road proposal and your guys opened like they were going to arbitration. Arbitration would have been heavily biased in your favor. Now that's off the table. New jet, new day. You can expect a much more aggressive opening stance from DL this time in case it comes to arbitration, which I'm certain it will.

In a nutshell, that is it. Arbitration is still not preferable, but if necessary will have to be conducted under ALPA merger policy.

You'll only know the answer to that after arbitration.
