Neither were Delta pilots which is why the analogy is spot on. I knew exactly what the MEC administrators were going to try to ram through from the jumbo RJ's to the pay rates funded by profit sharing cuts and other concessions. That was pretty easy to see. What shocked me was the extent the MEC administration would go to ram it through. I never considered the fact that they would ignore the direction of the MEC and sign a TA with management, then dare the MEC to defy them. That strategy was something nobody saw coming...just like Madoff's strategy of a crooked Ponzi scheme. Our reps never thought an administration would ever stoop that low, and yet you're proud of it. Truly amazing.
