Re UAL....weren't most posters here saying the UAL LOA was an abomination and divisive and destroyed their pilot group? Was gonna harm all ALPA unions?
Not picking on you specifically....just remember the hew and cry here and over there at the time, now we hold them up as "utopia". Utopia....dystopia.....sound alike....maybe it's a matter of perspective ....or quite possibly time is relative?
