Re: to jarhead and boilerup
The problem is that the DALPA contract does NOT encourage DL to make good decisions....in fact it has just the opposite effect.
DALPA's contract with DL encouraged management to go on the massive RJ buying binge. DALPA's contract gave the 70 seaters to DCI when they should have gone to mainline. These contractual provisions are a large part of the reason so many DL guys ended up on the streets after 9/11. Their own contract made it happen.
