As a previous MEC Chair, I have witnessed this happening, and the "confidentiality" agreements with the MEC's prevent the MEC from presenting this opinion to the membership.

Financial reports and SEC filings are public record and can't be faked under penalty of law. The company can put their spin on the data, but the numbers are the numbers. I'm sure ALPA employs guys who know how to read a 10 something or other.
