Wallach stood in the cockpit way back when and told us to our faces that the leaks were all BullSchidt and that the contract the MEC had proposed was "industry-leading. It's all there" His exact words. I didn't believe him then. I don't believe them now, especially after what the ToddFord wives delivered. Skepticism is healthy. Keeps them honest.
IME leaks have always been pretty accurate....but incomplete. They ALWAYS have some political motivation behind the content and timing. Why no leaks on scope? On sick leave/LTD? On vacation and training pay?
This leak is pretty anemic in comparison to previous AIP leaks.
