Rumor alert
I have heard this rumor from 2 captains recently.......don’t shoot the messenger.
Apparently our new MEC chairman, in conjunction with the ATL reps, is planning to drop all scope grievances in a show of goodwill to the company as we head into negotiations as the pandemic comes under control and travel begins to return.

Yeah, I'd throw that in the "bull******* until/unless it happens, then there will be hell to pay" category.

However, we need to be in the driver’s seat when dealing with contractual disputes – and file grievances when violations occur.

- Scope is the foremost priority. We need to focus our efforts on primarily enforcing the contract and eventually reaching comprehensive improvements to Section One that staunchly protects Delta pilot jobs.

Having said that, if they forgive those grievances, that represent willful attempts to completely disregard our scope clause, that a judge has ruled in our favor, I will be very disappointed. That might be enough of a reason to get rid of ALPA and bring in the DPA. I don’t think most of us will receive much money. It will probably go to a few pilots who could have been in a widebody position, but it’s the principal of the whole thing. This will be very disappointing.
After reading the post above, I could see them dropping the grievances, in exchange for more favorable scope language. But it would need to be really good.

Tip to would-be rumor spreaders and false flag planters: If you are going to concoct some rumors, have at least some basis in reality in how things actually work.

Bu posting this here, it’s now a rumor from you. Have you asked the MEC chairman if this is true?
