What that letter doesn't address is that the UAL MEC passed a resolution mandating that it pay the highest, not the other way around. As far as I know the joint NC came up with an agreed upon section 3 and the UAL MEC shot it down, not CAL's.

Facts are a tricky thing as my buddy Coto likes to point out.[/QUOTE]

FWIW I have not seen or read anything about what the JNC's recommendation was or which MEC did not accept it.
