Come to think of it, VB/TDY and VEBA are going to need significant informational material for the same reasons.
We will have to disagree here. I trust the wisdom of the Pilot group. Did you completely forget about the smack down the MEC received after trying to pull off exactly what you say above?
The days of the MEC/NC putting out one sided information are clearly over. They are committed to a Pro/Con paper and as we have seen last year even if they don't there will plenty of Pro/Con thoughts out via social media.
A good deal will pass and sell itself. A crap deal will go down in flames (again) no matter how hard it is sold.

Edit: I said "The days of the MEC/NC putting out one sided information are clearly over." I just viewed the UPS- DAL comparison on the DALPA site, I now retract that statement. Apparently the MEC does not seem to learn from past mistakes.
