I still don't see the scandal you hinted at here. What I see is:
1. The PSA MEC Chairman doesn't have a good understanding of unintended consequences, and
2. The Envoy MEC is missing a chance to really screw the PSA pilots by forcing us into a quasi-merger.
It is unusual to see a MEC pulling on the fragmentation clause rather than pushing it, but however ill-advised this is, it's not evil.
I can't say that I'm terribly happy about my representation though.
