Somebody has to have cell phone video. Until it’s substantiated...fake news.

BTW, WTF with the hospitality suites? Get the business done in session and go to your room. If you want to get a beer go to the bar. Geez.

The Atlanta PD responded. A Delta Regional Director was able to intervene and RG was not taken into custody. Charges are pending. Breaking a bone during an Assault is a First Class Felony. This will end VERY badly for him.

It absolutely is a Union matter. Read the Policy manual and ALPA bylaws. This thug needs to be summarily banned from ALPA.

Why are we talking about this on a public forum if we’re so concerned with our/the unions image? Inquiring minds and all.

Yup....hospitality suites are not a good use of members' dues. The $170k BOD bill was the epitome of fiscal disregard for the membership.
Drink as much as you want at these things but you gotta pay for it (and not assault fellow reps, of course).

Because this is the first I’m hearing about it. It’s not like we’ll get an chairman’s letter explaining the situation. Embarrassing yes, information the group should have, absolutely. Anyone else have an account of this, first hand preferably. Still can’t believe it.

I harkened back to the good ol' days, at "The other Delta.":(

This isn’t the MECs personal gentleman’s club. Looks like I’m going to have to write a resolution banning hospitality suites and alcohol. Now I’m funding an alcohol fueled fight club? This stops now. I’m pi$$ed. Grow the F up. This just set us back a decade when it comes to professional representation and negotiating a multi billion dollar contract. :mad:

I still hope this is a hoax.

While I agree heartily with the first part of your post, I completely disagree with the bold part... I assume the reason these reps are in Atlanta in the first place is to conduct union business. I for one don’t want any of our reps being even the slightest bit impaired when they are conducting said union business. Is it too much to ask of our union representation to conduct themselves in the manner and mindset that they would if they were Captaining one of Delta’s aircraft???

Ok. I was just saying. Hopefully the reason we aren’t hearing about it anywhere else (fb/cc) is Bc it’s exaggerated. Just hoping nobody got their arm shattered. If it happened like Dude said, no bueno. Swift and severe. Then again maybe he insulted his wife and mother...
