He knows what's happening here. He just doesn't care. As long as the stock price remains high, nothing else matters.
If he hears this from a pilot he "trusts," maybe it will help, or maybe it won't. Who knows. While I feel the whole meeting was pointless, if he is bombarded with the same information from a variety of people, maybe he will finally listen.
Just like Levy saying he doesn't understand one of the contract proposals, if they would bother to ever show up for negotiations, it might make a difference in their understanding. Apparently, their flunkies are doing a good job explaining it to them.
Apparently MG is saying he will attend the next negotiation. I'll believe it when it happens, but if he does, it'll be another indication that he's becoming more aware if his deteriorating situation.
