I don't care what it's branded. Our MEC Chair can't unilaterally sign a LOA or JCBA, so I don't know what he possibly could have given away on his own that would adversely affect us. The way many on the CAL side see this is the UAL MEC was willing to sacrifice an extension of most of the expiring provisions of the TPA in order to secure a significant financial gain for the UAL pilots. They had to know the company wasn't going to agree to that.

It all depends what side of the fence you're looking through.
