The Moakists are using that argument. Seriously.
It is right on Harwood's list of "strategic planning" reasons to ratify the TA.

The Comair pilots made Mr. Anderson upset. He shut down the airline.
We better not upset him or he might shut down Delta Air Lines too.

The MEC also uses the example of onboard duty-free. The company who had that contract made Mr. Anderson upset. He stopped onboard duty-free sales.
I guess that is supposed to mean that we better ratify this TA or Mr. Anderson will stop using pilots.

If you can't tell - ridiculous illogical scare tactics make me upset.

We are NOT in a weak bargaining position. The MEC is lying when they imply that we are.
