Just because something is contractual, doesn't mean it's enforceable. If I rent a jet ski from you and sign a hold harmless waiver, and it turns out that you knew the jet ski was unsafe before I got injured on it, no way that contract holds up.
This case is wonky since it involves the employer's trade. But imagine he had invented a cooking utensil - you think a court would uphold Delta's claim to it?

Depends on how good your legal team is.

A lot of people really have no idea how much a real legal fight costs. Litigating something like this if Delta decided to truly fight it would likely cost several hundred thousand dollars. And Delta can do it with in-house counsel they’re paying anyway.

If something he observed at work inspired him to create this cooking utensil, then the answer to your question is; Yes!Just because something is contractual, doesn't mean it's enforceable.

It appears to me that he saw a need within the scope of his employment that inspired him to create his App. He most likely would not have come up with the details of his App if he were, let’s say, the lumber guy at Lowe’s. So his employment at Delta aided him in its’ design.

Idk if the whole Fed has this, and I don’t remember the exact particulars, but in the military if you invent something job related that saves time/money you get a cut of the money saved.

I’d be willing to wager that there’s nothing in the CBA about this, and so it falls to retained management rights. I’m certain he’s going to lose, but it’s going to be very entertaining to watch.

The fact that he sued for $1BN tells me he's absolutely fishing for a settlement. There's no way in seven kinds of hell that they'd pay that much.

Captain: “I like to fly as fast as possible and request lower altitudes to screw the company on fuel costs since they won’t give us a contract!”
Me: “You realize they have less money to pay you with then, right?”

As a rule, the regionals had more variation in, well, people. In amplitude as well as frequency.
I ran into more than one person flying at turbulence penetration speed looking to recoup some past slight by the Company.

When I first got hired at my regional, a "Career Path Program" had recently been established where if you were accepted into it, you could "flow" to mainline after 1,000 hours as PIC. I flew with a captain who was in the CPP who flew at 55% torque and even asked Potomac Approach for either 1L or 19R at IAD (over a mile from the terminals, and at the time, rarely used) to build time faster.
what a jackass captain. I mean, the last damn thing I want to do is sit on the flight deck of the 737 I fly a few times a month. I’m already bored off my ass 30 minutes after taking off on whatever leg I’m doing, the last thing I want to do is be there in the cockpit any longer than I absolutely have to. I fly with a guy occasionally who will cruise at .72 because “we’re paid by the hour”. No dummy, I got stuff to do and places to be that don’t involve being here, push it up to .78. He argued that I would end up messing up Center’s flow if I did that and they would get mad at us. Flow? Into Missoula, Montana?

Anyone who wants to fly slow must get recruited by AAL.
“oh 60 flying miles to the airport on a busy frequency? 210 it is! No don’t bother telling approach, I’m sure that guy 5 miles behind our 767 will notice.”

You ARE Freaking out. Man.
Nowadays you could just fly in as scheduled and spend as much time waiting for a gate -- and the ground staff to work it. Least that's what it's becoming downstairs around the northeast. No morale to work? No way am I working! Yeesh. Frankly it's amazing some third-party companies can even GET rampies for pennies. Bonus round: ask GND for some obscure taxi-in routes if you know you're gonna be waiting for a bit, and go sightseeing for a while before ramp calls ready.
