Not at all. What I objected to is when you and Slowplay and alfaromeo described the NMB as an insurmountable hurdle. You repeatedly said the NMB's PowerPoint presentation showed them telling us they'll park us indefinitely if we didn't play nice, etc. When I asked you guys to show me exactly what slide(s) of the NMB PowerPoint backed up your claim, you said the NMB stated it in closed session. When I asked my reps if that was ever said in closed session, my reps said the NMB never said or inferred anything like a threat of being parked or anything threatening at all

When members of my own union used a statement from the NMB (that never happened) as a tool to get members to believe there was no hope in fighting management for an industry leading contract, I objected to that. I still object to that. Although in fairness, I haven't heard you guys do this yet in this Section 6.
