I understand that and that was my point. Pierce was trying to do an end run around the UAL MEC for data he wasn't entitled to at that time. He was trying to arrange the Contract positions "Pay Banding" and such to improve the lot of the cal guys in SLI.
Kinda like your buddy doing your wife. He knew enough about you to work your wife in his favor. This is what Pierce was doing and why the UAL MEC said "NO" it's not going to be that easy.
