Well,

The CAL MEC should have directed the CAL MC to tell the company to go pound sand and insist on a contract now and not a cookie. Possible inequities for 2011 on the CAL side could have been addressed under the JCBA. There is over $9B in the bank lets not forget.

The potential ramifications of the 14th of Feb aren't the pilots problem, they're the companies. That was leverage squandered. Just saying.

Had pierce not done his end around and had things then gotten testy in Feb, I am SURE that you would have gotten support from the blue side of the house.
