Per DALPA policy manual the MEC gets to review the TA for 7 days. Then and only then does the MEC actually vote, and if it passes, it goes to the pilots for MEMRAT.
Policy manual also states a 60 day window to allow for road shows and then actual voting, but that can be reduced to no less than 45 days by MEC majority vote.
While this is true, the NC takes its direction from the MEC no? If not, what was the freaking point of bringing them to RDU? Free buffet? I believe what is being insinuated is that the NC went to the MEC and said here’s what the company is willing to AIP this week, what do you think and the MEC was split on guidance but ended up saying go for it.
