Second, is he doing anything that would violate DALPA's policies? Probably not. He isn't a current MEC administrator. He isn't on the LEC. If he receives any trip drops for this business, then it would require some very serious examination. To date, there haven't been any allegations of DALPA trip drops.

Third, is his business in violation of any Delta employment policies? Maybe. This is a really grey area. My personal opinion is the Company might not be too thrilled to discover his "side" business is helping two of their competitors.

He has expertise to sell. I just hope his activities don't get him into trouble with Delta. They could.

If Delta has a problem with this consulting, DALPA and ALPA will have to let him hang out to dry. It's a independent consulting business.
