This stuff comes from UAL LEC rep.

Now I don't know much about LCAL MEC and its reps but I have learned and the UAL reps have learned that lying to the pilots will always backfire. It was a Dubinskiism and the tradition has stood the test of decades here at UAL.

While we may be kept out of the loop until the facts are needed to be distributed I have NEVER had a rep lie to me or be less than accurate in spite of all the politics. It is a UAL MEC tradition which goes back the three plus decades I've been here at UAL a pilot.
