Just got through reading it. I don't see how this testimony advances the discussion of what happened back then. The salient point that I recall from back then, was that we could have had a new JPWA if NWALPA agreed to the SLI proffered by DALPA. Our guys said no to that because (they claimed) the ratio method used by DALPA was extreme and put 500 NWA pilots at the bottom.

The testimony sheds no light on what Lee Moak was asking for in return for NWALPA rejoining talks for LOA 19. Did Lee call our guys and say: "We are negotiating a new LOA, join us?" If so, then why was previous negotiation stalled because of DALPA's insistence upon NWALPA accepting the DALPA SLI? Did Lee say: "We are negotiating a new LOA, you can join us in this if you'll just agree to our SLI proposal?" I don't know. The testimony sheds no light on this.

Does anyone else have any other transcript reference on what Lee was asking for (if anything)?
