..... But when they point out that ALPA & DAL had a hand in it, they're not completely wrong.
Hey, wait a minute!
The pilots' most directly effected by the Admin Manual SNAFU were those at Expressjet, who were silent. Now they're in a bit of a mess. Compass also, but to a lesser extent.
The Delta MEC had NO hand in the matter, probably by design. They read about it in the papers like you and I.
However, the rubber meets the road at the pilots who voted for it. Now they kinda hope Delta, or the Delta MEC will save them from their own errors and omissions.
