Of course management is going to use something like this to their advantage as best they can. The guy who headed up the MIT project is a former airline consultant with an expertise in lowering employee costs. It's natural that his "report" would be slanted that way. What's really alarming is that apparently DALPA wants to hang their hat on this same selective, out of context information!
