Please join me in the observation that despite increasing our D-MEC budget TEN FOLD for Scope Compliance and Analysis, dropping all the flying for the Chairman, and increasing the committee by 400%, passing two resolutions in ALPA's largest counsel by acclimation; Delta management is again, for the second time, telling us our scope is noncompliant.

Oops, sorry. It won’t happen again.
Did they not say that previously with a previous administration. Yeah it’s ALPAs fault this time.
No, the compliance is more and more voluntary when it suits their purpose. Hmm. If I choose to comply at will... looks like we’re headed down that road. Sect. 6 the old fashioned way, at least they have motivation to protect the brand image now. A public spat is the best way to show shareholders “sumpin’ ain’t right” and the 1st amendment is all it takes.

Let me guess you'll reply with something along the lines of "they should" and that we desperately need you back?

Didn't management do something similar under Donatelli? We had a full Stockholm syndrome MEC willing to carry any amount of water for management, did DAL not take them seriously either?

There's a process for all this with two possible outcomes:
1. An AeroMexico JV LOA that includes a Global JV solution
2. Proceed with the Grievience process and each pilot gets awarded $200 a year from now.
IMO, if the company shifted flying from Mexico to more profitable Caribbean flying and overall block hours did not fall this violation is no big deal. Common sense says protect your global flying hours and let the company move the planes as they please.
Moreover, I believe we need more big picture thinking when it comes to our contract rather than getting wrapped up in minute details. Some pilots would blow a gasket if the contract says black pens and the company gives you a blue pen. Instead of making the company pay for cheap Bluetooth keyboards that hardly anyone will use, that time, effort and money could have negotiated a new DH LOA
