Our MEC administration sees themselves as partners with management. They are all-in on that strategy and tbey've gone too far down that road to stop now. The difficulty comes in their inability to admit it...which explains the process of: 1. Initial big talk, 2. Weasel words, 3. Accept whatever management says to accept. If the MEC administration just went right to step 3, they know too many pilots would be angry with them. This system allows them to keep the warm partnership with their management family members, while providing cover and stealth from the members so members don't decode the plan until it's too late.

Why we continue to allow this is incredible. It is truly amazing how successful Ford & Harrison has been in handling DALPA.
