There is a small cadre of weak minded individuals who have found that the easiest thing to do is blame everything on Moak. If this MEM rep felt so strongly, then why didn't he run for election last January.
If the MEM rep said this, then it is a classic case of pass the buck leadership. Remember the MEC chairman works for him, not the other way around. So here is a boss passing off any failures to his subordinates. Profiles in courage. What is his leadership motto, "The buck stops with whomever I can blame it on."? Based on the other actions I have seen out of MEM it doesn't surprise me.
Alpha,
Why did Moak not allow this same MEM rep to present to the MEC the Blackstone memorial Scholarship fund info? This fund was a former NWA program.... The MEM rep (being a trustee) decided to open the fund to ALL Delta pilots. Moak would not allow him 15 mins to address the MEC and tell them about the program. After all this is Money to any DELTA PILOTS sons and daughters Potential Free Money!!! I see no down side. Yet something that was former NWA either call in honest, the way we get paid, and even this scohlarship program is deemed not worthy of consideration. Since you do not seem to like the current MEM reps, I hope you vote in the next election for change.
