I would indeed find it offensive and unacceptable if either side had proxies try to influence swing reps publicly with statements, well, statements like...

Before the body is cold our execs will say it was cost neutral and their 2016 labor costs will increase less than 2%. The usual suspects will say management has to lie to the shareholders like this, but we really won!!
We can turn the tide like we did for CDOs, but the pilots in ATL, SLC, LAX and SEA have to make the calls. These reps hold our futures.

Working side by side with the MSP captain rep.

He is one of a couple of reps that will make us or break us.

If I saw statements like these, I would think that pilots from other councils are trying to influence mine, and telling me how to vote, so yes, I would find it offensive and unacceptable. As far as statements guys are making at the MEC level to influence one another, I would imagine the histrionics can get a little silly, yes. I wouldn't expect to hear whining from any rep on APC, however that they're getting pressure. I would expect any of these guys to have the fortitude to solve these things privately.
