I can't speak for the reps, but saying you're concerned they are just going to sign an MOU for our new contract is just as rational as saying that you think the company is going to dissolve the union and we'll get paid FA wages. There was also some really good podcasts that discussed what section 6 entails.
An MOU is purely a memorandum of understanding, meaning an agreement between the company and union on how they will interpret certain language.
There is no out in the Policy Manual or the ALPA C&BL that would permit a section 6 negotiation to skip MEMRAT.
