I KNOW my facts/story that I shared above check out as "valid". The official 171 Meeting Minutes will also show the VOTE I mentioned. If that's not good enough, drop 'ol Capt Moak and email as he was there in person at the meeting as well.

My recollection is that a vote is not even required. These are ALPA members from another council. They should be free to observe, unless a local or MEC rule prohibits it.
However, only the council chairman may authorize them speaking priviledges, and of course they may not vote on any council business.
