Optics, to make it seem like the pilot's don't have any negotiating leverage.
There are a bunch of good and hard working guys in SAPA, they're smart, mean well, and try to have the pilots back's as much as they can. But never forget, SAPA is primarily a tool for the company, not the pilots. It was implemented, and funded by the company, not the pilots. They do a lot of good work, and are standup guys, but SAPA's main purpose is being the company's mouthpiece.
