I guess that will be all I will ever see too. And to answer your question.. yes, I have talked to the MEC reps. I have been to HQ in Hooterville and talked to them personally. And no I have not ever negotiated something for ALPA. Have you? I would be more than happy to renegotiate prater's new "contract" though when DAL holds 1/4 of the voting popwer at national. Talk about "Taking it Back"... The rest of your question regarding whether I have or have not seen any of the business plan is asinine. YOU haven't seen it either, yet you blindly follow without asking questions that are easily "answered"..
Truth be told, I'd rather Lee have Prater's job any day of the week. In a former life, I did sit in parts of negotiations. However, I was on the other side of the table. I don't blindly follow but I do ask questions as it appears you have. The problem is that due to SEC regulations and SarbOx rules, there is only so much anyone who has seen the plan can divulge. At this point, I have to trust that the very people who are going to live under what they negotiate for me will act accordingly.
