Agree with you on not believing a word out of Lee Moak's mouth. What really struck me about both that private meeting and the following C44 meeting was the condescending attitude he took. He kept repeating: "Well, there are a lot of very complex issues involved, some of which I'm not at liberty to discuss...." (this in relation to the Compass representation issue). He repeated that to me in private when I told him that most of my coworkers and I had absolutely no desire for DCI to get additional airplanes and wished Delta pilots would do their own flying. The insinuation was clear - young junior and regional pilots clearly didn't "get it" and we should trust our betters. The only reason I remember that day well is because it was a key turning point in my losing all trust in ALPA.
Unfortunately the MEC administration is still filled with Lee's people.
