Again, didn't DL's beloved leader mandate NO fences, though?
Heyas VoR,
RA has limited authority in this case. NWAs position wouldn't prevent any awards from being fulfilled, nor cause a bump'n'flush.
The only thing he could hang his hat on would be the "expense" portion of the process agreeement, but it would go into rather precarious legal territory for management to refuse a binding arbitration award.
Rather, I COULD see RA to pony up some significant negotiating credit to make the issues "go away". I can't speak for the DAL side, but I'd don't think the NWA side would bite, since "pay is temporary, seniority is forever".
Just a hunch. This thing is far from over.
