Because they did not want to.
Numerous Councils at Delta directed their LEC's to simply ask the MEC to study the Compass divestiture via resolutions. The MEC took no action to even study the matter before tossing 400 members to the curb.
More opportunities to capture flying were squandered during the acquisition of regional airlines in the last decade. In every case ALPA (as directed by the majors' MECs) went out of its way to define flying as not Delta and not Northwest flying.
In other, more mainline examples, look at the effort made to define MidWest flying as not Northwest flying.
If ALPA had enforced scope, they would have had nothing to use to trade to benefit their preferred members. Our MEC does not want to fight trench warfare over junior airplanes.
