Not attacking your phrase but the question is stay focused on what? Inept communications, or announcing an AIP for political reasons, or the so-called gag order?

The MEC Chair's should never have released anything. An AIP on certain sections was accomplished over three years ago. If it wasn't purley political reasons for announcement then why did the UAL-MEC Chair said was a "great win for the pilots" and four weeks later we STILL got nothin'. Pure political BS.

That is why we HAVE been played.
