I am not sure if it is intentional or not, but information is being metered, and formatted in a way that to me, is very deceiving.
I completely agree. And I think it is intentional. I think the predominant view of our MEC, especially the leadership, is that the massive BK concessions are a permanent reset of the value of our profession and that we can only expect traditional, modest improvements from this new baseline going forward. I think most of what you see coming from this MEC is designed to bring line pilots around to this way of thinking... i.e. lower expectations so as not to disappoint them.
