I don't oppose the idea of Pinnacle following our Admin Manual and working with the Delta pilots. The problem here is that the process what not followed and the Delta MEC was not involved.
We can not work together to resolve conflicts of interest if your side does not bother telling us what is going on.
I'm also concerned about this and plan on writing reps. But since no one likes it when someone points out a problem (no matter how justified) without at least having a solution in mind, what do you propose as a remedy to what's already happened WRT this?
Has LM already signed this? If he can withhold signature, he needs to be pressured to do so. That's clear. But what if he's already signed it? How can we fix it then? And if certain people at Pinnacle have intentionally violated our exclusive agreement with DL then they need to be dismissed from the guaranteed interview at the very least.
I will also be writing to urge agressive, mercilless compliance by any legal means necessary WRT the intentional, flagrant, no plan to comply JV production imbalance. The ONLY remedy for that is flying, Period. We are due well over 50% to rebalance and I expect every single block hour of that because we sure gave them plenty on our end. The EU economy has nothing to do with this because the percentages apply to whatever the flying is anyway so that straw dog don't hunt.
