Kirby avoids an embarrassingly huge NO vote ahead of the Q2 earnings call in which they want to appear turning the corner and a no-cost opportunity to get a 50% +1 deal. Todd Insler avoids the same embarrassingly huge NO vote in the midst of his campaign for ALPA President and ahead of the BOD in mid-October. The majority of the MEC, "Toddlers", will do anything to help him get elected and probably believe Insler's ceaseless proclamations that the MEC saved United in the midst of the Covid pandemic. Our MEC represents the company more than the pilots. If you doubt it check out the company's opening letter for this negotiation. Does it look familiar?
