I personally don't think option 1 is likely whatsoever. 2- it's possible, but from managements perspective, they have already offered us a deal better than any other airline gets. I'm not sure if they would budge. Is it worth a shot? Perhaps. Option 3 is possible I suppose. If I were in management that's what I would do. It will be cheaper than flying everyone down to FLL and paying for hotels and dropped trips. I don't think this is a "Scare Tactic". I think it is a valid answer to a good question.
Management will take the lowest cost route to their goal.
Do you think they offered this LOA because they love you?
This LOA is offered because it is a win for them. Period, end of story! *
Where's the win for us?
IT IS NOT THE GROUPS PROBLEM THAT THE MEC SENT OUT A POORLY CONSIDERED LOA!
