These "inexperienced" MECs, with the lawyers and the RJDC watching closely, needed the commitment of a PID prior to documenting their fair version of the list. After all, they were just following the checklist. Once the commitment of a PID came down, and it was correctly decided that napkins bearing the Delta logo do NOT constitute operational integration, I
suspect it would have been quite obvious just what the "MECs" had in mind with regards to fair integration. As we have seen, nobody has any
idea just what an arbitrator will do-something some people, NOT to
include CG and MP, have told me that this is exactly what the "MECs", the RJDC, and the RJDC lawyers were counting on.
Interesting how you would even want to associate with Delta pilots, let alone have the desire to become one of us.

Brakechatter....As someone who supported the PID, and the RJDC, I can assure you that the RJDC only came about AFTER the PID failed. The PID was not filed with the intent of suing ALPA. The fact of the matter was, the PID was filed because DALPA had no interest in a single list back then, and that was the only way to try and force the issue. DALPA only wanted to talk about "flowthroughs" up till that point...they weren't interested in a single list...thus the PID....
