What's curious is that Bucking Bar used to be one of the most thoughtful analysts here. He used to routinely and very correctly criticize DALPA/ALPA when warranted, and correctly praise them when warranted. Now he's every bit as shameless of an ALPA propagandist as Shiznit or sailingfun. How does that happen? What is the DALPA conversion process for guys like Bar?
To me, that's the more interesting question.

At the flight ops briefing the company stated the 777 was removed from consideration because they were focusing on a going point to point in the Pacific not Hub to hub. In fact I believe you posted comments some time back stating that. They also stated the 330 NEO did not have the range for the planned Pacific operations and they required the A350 or 787 in the Pacific. They stated the 330 NEO would be primarily a Atlantic and SA aircraft. Inchon is well within the 330 NEO's range.
Because our "union" has shown them over and over again that they have no intention to resist management if management decides not to follow our contract. The real question is, why wouldn't management sign a TA? We're forced to follow it, they're not. No downside.
We have multiple sections dealing with scope in the contract. The company is in compliance with every single section. On 1 APR the company will likely be out of compliance with one section. The non compliance looks like it will be equal to about 1 medium haul Europe flight on a 767-400 per day over the measurement period.
I fully expect the union to either file a grievance or reach a settlement with the company on that issue.
