Put any two names in there you want. The issue remains the same. Can we let Delta management sit down and do deals with any pilot group it pleases?
If so, how about ASA sitting down to get our 737 flying? Why not?
Wychor, like all officers in ALPA, has a duty to uphold our Constitution and Bylaws. Our Admin Manual addresses concessionary bargaining, the dire situation does not change the fact that the rules apply.
Further, it would have been easy to get Delta MEC concurrence on this. There was really no reason to lock us out.
Let me get this straight, you just said that TW
made Delta Air Lines sign Pinnacle's scope clause?
Don't get me wrong, we(DALPA) should have been there but maybe, just maybe you should be pointing the finger at OUR guy LM.
Also let it be said, again I don't like how it went but they get an interview(something DAL pilots don't control) and planes that WE just signed off on. Nothing else.
