The negotiators answered both those questions at the roadshow for LOA 51.

If you think they did such a bad job, what did you advocate doing and who did you advocate it too?
Slow-

My point- as I emphasized quite clearly- was that Reroute dismissed the full depth of concessions under Moak's LOA 51 as "...some other contractual changes..." while making a detailed point of other concessions under Malone's LOA 46. I felt it was important to remind our readers what the "other contractual changes" actually were. I stated quite clearly "I don't envy the Malone or Moak MECs for the battles they had to fight, but I think you were emphasizing the concessions taken under the Malone MEC and glossing over those taken under the Moak MEC." That was the point I felt needed to be made.

As to your questions- great topics for another discussion.
