That is your personal opinion, and you're certainly entitled to it.

As I've stated earlier, that is a blatant lie by sailingfun. In the interest of complete accuracy, the MEC has never said this. It's just being said by the MEC's strategic leak and deniability department.

It's neither. It's a lie. It never happened. The NMB never said that to us.

No airline management EVER HAS! In all cases, it's only extracted from them through the RLA process. This time is different because management has apparently successfully spun some folks into believing that the RLA is a hopeless process for airline labor. The easiest way to win is to get your opponent to not fight.
