I don't know what else to say. This is what was was told to me. They're not trying to get the LCAs to shill for the company, but apparently they do have a say (or some sway) in who gets that job to begin with. I presume so that they don't get a "subverter" in that role. I don't claim to know anything about how things work behind those scenes, I'm just passing along what was told to me.
