You're also making excuses for UAL management. During contract negotiations. You may be correct, but it's irrelevant during contract negotiations.
Yes we do have some control in that our scope language has them to the point where they can’t get more 76 seat jets unless they buy some SNB’s under our current language, or negotiate a different policy. Personally I’d love to see them show up and take an ax to UAX, but line pilots don’t make those decisions. I don’t see how I’m making excuses for the company. If they think that a SNB is a fit, they’ll buy them. Obviously they don’t at this time. As far as being correct, but irrelevant during contract negotiations, I find that a little strange. Are we supposed to run around like Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity reciting a one sided story while ignoring any information that may not fit our narrative simply because we’re in contract negotiations?
