Your guess is as good as anyone's at this point.......
Could be going out on a limb, BUT I
highly doubt there is ANYONE on APC who would go on record as being a member of the JNC. With that being said, an 'outsider' (which 99.9%+ of us are) will NEVER fully know the
exact reasoning as to 'why' without being directly involved in behind closed door meeting/issues/heated discussions....anything on here would have to point to conjecture at best concerning your question.

IMO....It 'may' do more damage to the entire Negotiating Process if the UAL MEC decided to just 'clean house' of the present UAL member's on the present JNC (harm to BOTH sides viewing the JCBA is for ALL pilots). It does not take much to realize that this 'circus side show' involving the Banded vs Unbanded has already caught the eye of Mgt as we speak.....if disbanding (no pun intended) 1/2 of the current JNC came about, it may do more harm than good at the present time.
One has to remember.....this "riff" in the pay-structure issue is just that, a "riff" in the long winded process. Nothing has been handed down T/A-wise for the MEC's to even lay ink to by way of the MEC's vote. I would think making 'big changes' as you suggest is something that 'could' happen....but right now probably has not set off the "oh $h1t" metter yet. I would believe that the UAL side is willing to try to settle this 'differing stance' within their leadership before tossing out the baby with the bath water.
Again, as I said in the opening....It's all "just a guess".
