Hopefully past experience has taught our MEC reps that they can not rely on ALPA National attorneys for advice on our scope clause as it relates to other ALPA carriers.
Those attorneys in Herndon have an enormous conflict of interest and they do NOT work for the Delta pilots. Of course they issued an opinion to our guys that ALPA National has done nothing wrong. What did we expect?
Lee Moak probably thinks he can control this situation. He thinks his "constructive" relationship with mangement will protect us all.
I hope he knows what he's doing. It is a huge step to start allowing Delta management to sign contracts with more than one pilot group.
Red lights are flashing all over the cockpit on this one.
