Section 6 has nothing to do with the difference between these deals. It is all about leverage. DALPA gave away this leverage (FRMS & 117 waivers and extensions) in an LOA before Section 6 negotiations and the UAL MEC almost did with LOA 22. Thankfully the MEC woke up after much prodding from none other than Garry Kravit and voted unanimously against LOA 22. If not for those events we would not have this leverage.
