Ya know, it's this kind of ruling that makes me wonder about Freedom "A" back in 2002-3. It was an alter ego deal as well and ALPA jumped at the company's offer of scope with absolutely ZIP contract improvements. Now, one of our negotiators is working over in corporate, a coolaid boy to say the least considering the filth that spews from his mouth these days. I wonder... a cool million changing hands behind the scenes... a ruse about Mesa on the chopping block and Freedom A being the new deal... an offer of scope... a cut-throat contract... a deal is made. Wow. It just keeps smelling worse and worse. I don't know, someone should do some poking around, investigate.
