The cynic in me says this is a last ditch effort by flight ops management to patch past mismanagement before they have to explain to the new boss why United can't fly to Aukland or Tel Aviv. I'd be shocked if Oscar was involved in, or even aware of, current pilot negotiations.
Two things: if he's not aware of the fact that the company approached ALPA with a contract offer he would be the worst CEO in history. Come on.....
Second: let's say your theory is true and it's a desperate management move to try to figure out how to save their jobs before Munoz figures out we can't do Tel Aviv (which I HIGHLY doubt). Why wouldn't you want to exploit that for your gain??
