I don't think this is about any individual supporter or proxy. No one is going to "win" a masterdebating contest against Carl.
Now this is informs on the issue of the merger policy, and the presumption it was manipulated by UAL:

They made substantive changes to the policy although the United representative had the least amount of input as he was involved in preparation for a potential merger with US Air. It should be noted that the current Continental Merger Committee Chairman was the CAL rep to the MPRC.
The MPRC unanimously recommended the proposed changes, including the CAL Merger Committee Chairman. The Executive Council, which included a CAL EVP, approved the proposed changes. The Executive Board, which included the CAL MEC Chairman, unanimously approved the changes.
Thanks much for the info.
