I was wondering if those guys and gals from DL/NWA could speak up a bit about their merger contract.
Did they just scrap the NWA contract and go with the DL one and add an LOA to the end or was it more extensive than that?
I guess the difference here with the CAL/UA joint contract in negotiations is that both unions contracts have already expired and both are looking for a full re-write, whereas the DL and NWA contracts were not officially "amendable" yet.
From what I understand, the NWA contract just went away. Were there protections in the NWA contract that DL didn't have that you migrated over to the updated DL contract? Were there items from the old NWA contract that were taken away as a result of merging?
If you had to go back and do it over again, what would you make sure was added into the new contract that was not foreseen, but it can be felt now that you've been together for a while?
Please help the CAL/UA guys. Everything they get in their new contract makes it that much easier for you to get the next time around the horn.
