Sliceback,
Philpot was a big proponent of the 2003 give backs, then promptly left for management. Regardless of what you say he was part of the problem.
Darrah was directly involved with the negotiations in 2003. He came to the DFW meeting bragging about the crappy contract that we were going to vote on. He played stud poker with the big boys and got beat. The problem is he was playing with our money not just his! As to his status, he has been a Check Airman for a while, he may have sat on this system for a bit, so I take back that statement.
Hunter was repaid for pushing the give backs that got squashed just prior to him getting voted out of office.
You sound a bit like a management lackie. If I am reading that wrong I apologize, if not well...
