I agree with you Geoffrey.
At first I thought the company would jam this in our eye like a sharp stick. But...
I went to the afternoon meeting with over 500 other pilots, and I LISTENED to all of the EB and Art Luby speak, and I heard that Linda (NMB Senior mediator) could smell the split in the EB. This isn't uncommon in a democratic union structure, and not uncommon during the high pressure end game of negotiations.
According to Art Luby (our scope lawyer), the door remains open IF the EB reaches a true consensus. I'm sure Linda told UPS to stay mum for the duration of this internal issue.
Now, I AM sure that UPS is laughing it up a bit for now...
