Yes. The Delta MEC was not notified as rquired under Section 40 of our Admin Manual. Delta's Reps read about the negotiations in the paper like everyone else, after the negotiations were completed. This sidestepped the role of the Delta MEC to deal with the problems of the Delta pilots.
I'm having to piece together your opinion from your previous posts, but I think your point is ALPA National authorized this bargaining behind the back of the Delta MEC and you are correct. I lobbied my Reps to place ALPA National on notice of our concerns. Informally, I believe they did so.
