I don't know why they weren't listening but hopefully they are now. And perhaps they were listening all along, but the pilots didn't start communicating until late in the game.
I don't care how the company views the MEC because I'm not sure it's relevant. The company doesn't reward anything...it tries to maximize profits and stock price (as every shareholder, including me, would expect). If the MEC is telling them they don't think the TA will pass, then the ball is back to the company.
I don't believe this offer is the last-best. I think it's the first-worst. And there's plenty of time to bring up the bar as the PS formula we're almost all happy with remains in place.
