To me it is exactly the same reason you wouldn't publish your complete strategy (assuming you were actually in a position to implement it and not just typing on a forum) until you were ready for action.
Very good point. I would assume that, were the company to know that a majority of pilots want CDOs, it would be tough for our reps to extract much (if any) capital from "allowing" them into the contract if requested.

A peek on the public survey that's going on indicates that 39% of those responding want CDOs. Not exactly a "vast majority." Hopefully, DALPA won't find that that's indicative of the pilot group as a whole!
