If true, words absolutely fail me.

An equally viable argument is that ALPA had previously extracted every dollar of value that was available, and once the CDO portion was eliminated, the total package no longer made sense to management. I.E. the cost of an agreement without CDO flexibility exceeded the cost of no agreement.
So, the only way to get a deal that still brought value was to tweak the ADG implementation.
And while I have no idea whether that is true, you also have no facts supporting your
opinion.
And welcome back, btw. We've all missed you.
