No inside info, but my thoughts are the union wanted to prevent furloughs...a noble effort....and the company just said, “look, here is the pot of money we have for pilots until June. If you guys can figure out a way to prevent furloughs, we’re all ears.” Then the union dutifully went about cutting MPG to manage the company.
