By their own words, the YES voters on the MEC and the entire MEC administration have disqualified themselves from any further participation in this process.
They told us plainly that this is the best they can do. They fired every bullet. They endorsed Mr. Anderson's statement that any subsequent deal will not be better.
The Delta pilots have rejected their position by an astonishing margin. They are done.
Now they must resign immediately or act only in a caretaker role until the pilots have at least been given the opportunity to replace them in an orderly fashion. Some of them may survive recall. I don't see how, but its possible.
In any case:
There can be no further negotiations with management until we sort this out.
This MEC administration has ZERO authority to do anything but facilitate the transition phase.
We will go through this process in an orderly and business-like manner. But go through it we must.
