Type as slow as you want...those are from the OAG and 10-k.
Who flies the
majority of Delta's domestic brand - Delta or DCI + Code Share?

Another great example of how our DALPA MEC bureaucrats operate and communicate. It's almost as if every day is all about
: "How can we fool them today? How can we better obfuscate in our member communications?"
Slowplay's latest attempt at defending the indefensible is to ask for examples of other organizations that govern themselves differently than does DALPA. The answer of course is that most all corporations govern themselves far differently (and with greater transparency) than DALPA. Slowplay knows this too, so that left him with the need to portray the MEC committee structure and members as "middle managers" or "civil servants". Our MEC committees are the total power and influence within our union. They are equivalent to a corporation's executive leadership team. Nobody gets appointed to an executive leadership position without board approval. Very few board members get to be board members without being elected by the shareholders.
When comparing our union to a corporation, the LEC members are similar to a board of directors because they are elected by the members. Where our union differs is that our elected representatives (board members) DO NOT get to appoint the executive leadership team. They only get to appoint the individual chairmen. This is just one of the problems that has led to DALPA becoming a totally top-down organization that has utterly marginalized the LEC reps. This is what slowplay desperately hopes to hide from you.
