I thought I read somewhere that DALPA got a $600,000,000 bargaining credit for scope relief in the bankruptcy negotiation.
If this is true, do you think the top half of the DAL seniority list would want to pay this back in order to take it back? Would the flying be done at a competative rate?
No, the time to do it was the summer of 2000 when Delta and Comair were both in Section 6. That window is now closed and you can thank ALPA and the Delta MEC for the erosion of the profession while selling out union "brothers" without their knowledge or consent.
So who are you going to blame/sue when DAL management decides not to renew feeder contracts, and reduce RJ feed?
Actually, the Delta MEC's realized a $150,000,000 bargaining credit for that.

The NWA MEC provided management with an a'la-carte menu subsequent to the $15,000,000 credit to divert 40 growth aircraft from their ALPA brethren at Mesaba and Pinnacle. This included $30,000,000 to permit the alter ego Compass.

I submit that only a couple of progressive thinkers in the whole union would want to buy it back because the "buy back" price is going to go up.

Maybe not able to control the marketplace, but we should be able to control who operates the airplanes within the brand.I don't subscribe to the wacky fantasy that a union can control the marketplace with a labor agreement.
I do believe, however, that a union should treat all of its members fairly in accordance with its Constitution and By-laws.
I think the SLI result puts pressure on Delta to seek scope revisions if they plan on furloughing. The 76 to 70 seat trigger went from roughtly 10% of the list, down to 4%.Where is the opportunity to absorb regional flying? How long is the joint contract that Delta/NWA just agreed to? Is there another opportunity to make changes besides the end of that agreement?
That's not quite true MB, most of us in the upper half of the list were not "loosing" (there's that tricky word again...) our jobs at all. We came to Compass because we wanted to be there, not because it was the only show in town. We were aware of the risks, and we accepted them.
