With the exception whether or not you actually had a conversation (I can't verify that), not one word of what you've written is factually correct.
The Merger Committee and Pilot Director are also elected by the MEC. The MEC Chairman is an ex officio member of the Negotiating Committee. There is no attempt at recall, there is an election as called for in the Delta MEC policy manual.
Why would you or your "high up in the food chain" insider spread stuff like this? Does it help you on a path to get a better contract?
Just a suggestion, but you might want to check your sources.
