Further, to defend this malfeasance with a "Pinnacle's changes to your Section 1 are none of your business" type argument, they are interpreting our scope very, very, narrowly.

I submit that ALPA National Attorneys are not even ALPA members. They are not pilots, do not pay dues and have no right of representation by our Reps. They are staff counsel with a hell of a conflict of interest. A conflict which they should ethically stated up front.

Word I got from my reps, who I actually spoke with, is while there are concerns, the MEC has not yet been briefed and it is still under review. Wholly owned, announced just yesterday may have other considerations. I think today's code-a-phone covered it and said its still under review.

I'd rather have the correct answer than the wrong one fast, and if someone's interpretation disagrees with yours doesn't mean it's a cover up, conflict of interest or conspiracy.

However, as a backdrop, in the case of ALPA, with the RAH scope violation that "wasn't" a scope violation that later became a contract carveout exemption, I don't trust "the system."

If the correct answer of which you speak comes out to be "Yeah, sure, Delta doesn't have to include DALPA when they impact DALPA scope"...and ALPA is good with that...

What say you then? Are you good with that?

My question is, when is the NCAA going to ban Oklahoma from bowl games? The Oklahoma Rule? No matter how good their regular season was, they don't get to go.
