I’m told (by people that were there) that he’s been smoozing the company for weeks to allow him to bid a CA upgrade even though he won’t be 23 when it closes. That the company agreed to let him do it if ALPA agreed to let him do it. He then began lobbying (pressuring) other MEC members to do a LOA to allow him to upgrade sooner.
The post from whistleblower above I am told by reputable sources is essentially accurate; does have some spin but is factually correct.
