Uhhh... no. The 12 did not prevent either. While they may have been against changes to scope or profit sharing (as were every other pilot on property!), the person most against profit sharing change was none other than John Malone. From his Sep 9 Chairman's letter:

"We restarted the negotiating process almost one year ago by focusing on the sections of the rejected tentative agreement the pilots found objectionable. One of the last “toxic” items to deal with is management’s proposal to modify profit sharing.
When the National Mediation Board (NMB) set the schedule to meet this week, it was prepared to continue mediated talks the following week if sufficient progress was being made. For me, and our Negotiating Committee, a “go-no go” item was management’s profit sharing proposal.
Unfortunately, management’s latest proposal retains changes to profit sharing we cannot accept and they have not addressed several of our must -have items"

Give credit to who it's due. Malone and the NC got us the agreement we have, despite the interference from the 12.
