Just observing here, but gotta ask.... so the Kayak price doesn't apply to MEC functions because they negotiate a cheaper, much more beneficial rate with a lot included. But the rate for your purposes is what you see on Kayak?

Just listening to both sides, but if someone from the pro-ALPA point of view is going to argue that the numbers don't really mean what they say, and then another pro-ALPA guy adds what you just did, well, it tends to make me think things are being presented in a light that is not accurate, but is done purely to favor your side. Kind of like the claim the union isn't supporting democrats for president since Clinton, but then when someone has access to the actual facts we come to find the truth is different from what we're being told. I'm all for my union, but I would prefer the non-biased version of the truth.
