This can play out in two ways: You can get an EF&A team to look at the numbers provided by the company, or you can get an EF&A team to REALLY look at the books and tell you what's what.

Only one counts. The other is just for show or to "manage expectations".

Excellent point - and either way, the E&FA team works at the pleasure of the MEC. Whether it be ALPA's own (quite good) E&FA team or Deloitte and Touche, they answer the question that is asked and only the question the client asks.
