Lawson spoke for the Comair pilots, end of story.
Reasonable enough.
Lawson was trying to get three way negotiations with the Delta MEC to save his airline. ALPA said no.
Ten years later Wychor simply blows off the Delta MEC, our Constitution and Admin manual and ALPA says, fine.
Paint the pilots' involvement however you want. I do not see them clamoring to replace Wychor and arguably he has done a good job for the guys he represents.
Wychor's actions imperil the future of our union, but as our representational relevance as slipped perhaps we are comfortable in our new role as one of several groups of pilots who perform Delta flying.ne.
