In addition to Nu's exmple, it happened at then wholly owned subsidiaries ASA and Comair when they wanted to secure their flying through scope that bound Delta Air Lines.
Also reference, CC Air.

Carl, see above Sir. These are all history that can be verified publicly. Further, many pilots will fill you in on the battle between the Delta MEC, Comair MEC, ASA MEC and pilots at the subsidiaries who sought relief through the Federal Courts. These battles were fought with ALPA firmly on the side of the Delta MEC.
