Ok, does anyone else see the contradiction or what am I missing here?
No, there is definitely a contradiction here.
The contradiction is that the CAL MEC needs the JCBA compensation to "paint the full picture" to the SLI arbiter.
Therefore, they do not want the much larger 747 to pay more than their largest airplane, the 777. The banding United went to was a concessionary bankruptcy giveback. The CAL MEC does not want that concession to go away.
Nice, huh?
