Those roadshows were produced AFTER the MEC rejected the Company's original offer of 11% cut across the board. When it was rejected, the Company's subsequent ploy was to produce the road show at 2 times the proposed cut to drive the MEC to arbitration.
Believe me, there was a LOT of stuff going on behind the scenes that the average line pilot had NO idea about.
