PCL, I said IF, but how would you REALLY know what happened at closed door meetings? You're not there anymore, and I don't care how many "friends" you still have on the MEC, you have no idea what really happened at a closed door MEC meeting. ALPA made veiled threats to us by saying we'd had our last MCF grant, etc if we voted it down. I would be surprised if the same didn't happen there.
