Campbell knows there's a majority on the MEC that wants to be "constructive".
That's our stated policy. Its not news to management.

The leaks serve a purpose.
The leaks are calculated to help the MEC figure out what will pass memrat.
The leaks help the MEC figure out which of these proposed concessions the line pilots think are reasonable.
They've probably got more useful "feedback" in the last 10 days than anything the survey could tell them. Most of these rumored concessions weren't even on the survey.

I just want to make sure there's not a repeat of C2012. I want to make sure its the MEC that makes the decisions this time and not just the administration and the semi-permanent "career ALPA" guys who are always hovering around the MEC.
