If you are sued by the company or by a member it is ALPA national that is the defendant. ALPA gives you as much autonomy as it can but the Department of Labor does not recognize your MEC as a local.
The point was that each pilot group is free to act in their own best interest. The ALPA President can't approve a contract without the MEC Chairman also signing.
