The MEC was taking a lot of heat for their decision to not release the opener...ever. The lie came from the fact that all openers are a detailed list of what both sides want - right down to the percentages of pay you are asking for, etc. Great detail on both sides. They are NEVER broad based or conceptual. Never.

My reps were disgusted that this was how the MEC administration responded to the demand of pilots getting to see what we were asking for in our opener. The MEC administration kept its promise and never released the opener. They'll undoubtedly do the same for C2015.
