Mr. Moak's signature would not have been legally required if the agreement did not modify the Delta contract. If the Pinnacle agreement did not modify the Delta contract and was really only between the Pinnacle MEC and Delta management, the only required signatures would have been those from the Pinnacle MEC and Delta management. If the agreement
does modify the Delta contract, then the Delta MEC's signature must also appear...unless the ALPA president decides to sign it on behalf of Delta pilots. The ALPA president chose to do just that.

His signature wasn't required if the Delta MEC had signed it instead. But since the ALPA president chose to sign it, then there would also have been no need for the signature of the Pinnacle MEC. Yet the Pinnacle MEC's signature
is there.
