Well, I'll be on the lookout for an 'escape clause' in the legalese that allows the union (not just the MEC chairman) to vote on a course of action with a 95% majority. I was curious about how AA's union settled with AA about their vacation screwup. I don't know who decided on the resolution or even if the union members got to decide with overwhelming vote. Even a favorable to all parties resolution might still be a bad one if it sets an emergency precedent with "good enough reasons".
