I can see significant edits and revisions to the resolution as it passes through the various hands in the process, but indeed a policy - that reflects the seriousness of doing work on behalf of Delta pilots and the integrity and professionalism demanded of the calling - is long overdue. Such work should be considered duty time requiring the same judgement and decision making capacity as flying the line. Maybe they need to sign an FDRA (a little humor)?

Union dues should not be funding alcohol and lavish meals.

Over the years there has been a lot of bad behavior at union gatherings, much of it influenced by alcohol. There have been troubling things occurring that affect the lives of pilots. Let’s hope this is a wake up call. There is, and has been, a lot of anger. I have no dog in this fight and am a fan of neither party; however, I can’t help but wonder... the example it would set, what it might do for unity within the leadership and at large if the ATL rep were to drop, or not press charges. The offending party will pay a high cost regardless.
