No it was JA in consult with JS. JA, then JJ then NJ (?). Anyway probably should throw WT or MB in there too before NJ.
You gotta remember, during the bankruptcy we chose to keep those soft pay options and take the hit on wages. Many many inside and outside edv were angered by that move, but JS and TW knew the quickest way back was to sacrifice the pay rates because those could.come back the quickest through LOAs. There was a ton of trust in the MEC, and well earned because JS and TW had been through chpt 11 before. Theres a ton of earned trust that got passed on and a lot of smart people carrying the ball forward.
