"Allegedly"? Seriously? You mean the leverage that would have allowed our MEC to reject the proposed ER? Why would you try to misrepresent what leverage we actually had?

As to why our MEC approved and allowed an ER program that abrogates pilot seniority so that the company could save money that's a pretty simple question, isn't it? I guess it's too obvious and pains some to have to face facts, but it would be a prime example of our union doing what's best for the company instead of what's best for its members. But if one thinks ignoring pilot seniority is okey-dokey well, I guess it's more complicated.
