I wasn't saying that moak convinced us to do anything.
National's lawyers be it the "best" or the "worst" operate under ALPA's doctrine, or try to push current goals.
They are directed to do SOMETHING by SOMEONE. They don't just make it up as they go.
It's foolish to think Moak has no hand in any of it.
You misunderstood. The run of the mill ALPA lawyer doesn't have any interaction with Moak whatsoever (except for the chance meeting at BOD). Their bosses communicate with Moak.
Like I told someone else on this thread, your dreams of a chain of command from Moak down to the NC isn't realistic. Ask any NC Chairman if their attorney helped them set goals or actually negotiated anything beyond the sections of the contract that deal with discipline, representation, arbitration or any other legal process.
The answer will be no.
