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

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 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...

For over 30 years I’ve opposed and tried to end dues money spent on booze ever and the MEC laughed every time.
If you need to drink to do business, you need to step down.

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. 
I still hope this is a hoax.

There is some irony in this situation. The two ATL captain reps tried to get the MEC to limit alcohol in the hospitality suite their first meeting back in March 2016. Didn't pass.
