In a nutshell, the Council Members can not direct the MEC via telephone under current guidance.
1) I don't believe you are correct. Votes have occurred on LOAs via conference call previously.
2) What is the issue that needs to be voted on? Are you, or anyone, claiming that this agreement violates our PWA? If Delta changed their policy and decided we no longer had to wear hats (!), would the MEC have to vote on that? If they changed their policy that said we DO have to wear a bow tie, would the MEC get to vote on that?
I know you believe the ALPA C&BL were violated. I know many, many others disagree. And, if I haven't said it enough already this morning, I trust them to make the right decision, primarily because I personally know them.

Thank you for your opinion -- I, and apparently many others, respectfully disagree.
