I don't think the case hinges on his testimony. I've not read his transcript, but the anecdotal comments related to the JFK move don't seem to be crucial to the definition of the agreement. That is not to say he will not be blamed to in a political effort to deflect criticism.

There is certainly enough in the form of public comments, e-mails and testimony about oral agreements to revise the contract, as well as the fact millions were paid without objection, to indicate the actions of the parties.

Folks like BK (former LEC 44 rep) really need to be forwarded a copy of these documents in the hope they will understand outsourcing DOES NOT benefit Delta Airlines and DOES NOT benefit Delta pilots. Even if the intent to cross subsidize Delta pilots' contract by outsourcing came from the best of intentions, in practice it fails horrendously. Just objectively looking at the history and the facts leads directly to the conclusion that Leo, Fred and Michelle's outsourcing plan isn't in the long term best interest of Delta, or its' pilots.
