Help me out;
Having one person, the MEC Chairman, getting sole control in deciding what foreign airline can wear Delta colors and operate without Delta crews (if I'm reading that section of the TA correctly) troubles me greatly, especially after the spectacle of the PTC road show.
I have previously posted my concerns about section 1.E.9 possibly allowing outsourcing.
In response, someone pointed out that there is currently nothing in our current PWA preventing the company from doing so now. If that's the case, why isn't Delta doing it?
Section 1.E.2 of the current contract seems to indicate that the Company cannot outsource the Delta brand without the written consent of the full MEC. If the full MEC were presented with a proposal from The Company to acquire (in whole or in part) and operate another - foreign - carrier (SkyMark?), without integrating the other airline's seniority list - and using the Delta logo - I believe it wouldn't be an issue; the MEC would not allow it.
If I'm reading and interpreting the current PWA and proposed TA correctly (and I may not be doing so), then section 1.E.9 of the TA seems to erode protection from outsourcing - not enhance it - by removing the MEC in its entirety from the decision, except the MEC Chair.
Am I wrong in my interpretation?
