Let me recall the events:
1. TA agreed by both sides.
2. Review of Final language.
3. Vote by MEC.
4. Release for view by pilot group.
Comair pilots didn't get a copy of the March 2, 2007 concessionary contract until 6 months after the contract passed, because ALPA and the company were working on "the language".
I seem to recall the 70-seat FO pay rates actually changed from the TA/roadshows to the final contract. Apparently there was a mathematical error that Comair found and corrected. Needless to say the new rate was in the company's favor.
