The big difference is I'm not an mec official. If I print what was heard there is wiggle room for the MEC I suppose. The guys were in several cities spreading the word. A friend was in Tokyo at the downtown layover hotel and ALPA was there. Guess that is where my assessment is going. Giving MEC members TYO vacations. At least the guys I talked to were in a domicile.

Yes the billion dollar number was net. Also they said the company was making money and the sooner they combined the better monetarily for the corporation. Supposedly the finance consultant we are paying from the assessment is positive too on the contract. But, ALPA consultants have a history of selling us a pig in a poke.
