If I'm not mistaken, the EMB 170 give away was accomplished by one man. My guess is that the whiteford side letter allowed the company to park the Guppies because I don't think that UAL would have had the lift to park the fleet without that letter.

Sure, there's plenty of guilt to go around but that side letter was HUGE. The rest of us had ZERO say in the matter.

Of course, none of that matters now. But it is a salient point to consider when voting on the upcoming contract.
