This speaks to a massive failure of the strategic planning guys. They tried to include in the survey every single concession the company might want.
They knew full well the survey would never be released. As long as every possible concession was addressed on the survey, they could politically claim such-and-such concession wasn't "a priority" for pilots to retain.
They neglected to anticipate the company's moves. They were caught flat-footed, and are scrambling to recover.
A total failure by Harwood. He'll try to cover his incompetence by cramming this down our throats.
I wish any of this were true Purp, but it's not. This was well planned for years. This is why Kingsley Roberts was taken out by the MEC admin leftovers he mistakenly thought he could trust. Roberts was the wrong MEC chairman to do this. Heiko was the wrong negotiating committee member to do this. This was planned by very smart and driven people.
People used to occasionally say how stupid and easily rolled Moak was. He made millions as ALPA's president, and he'll be making more millions now running the Moak Group. This group of MEC admin's are no different.
