But clearly you are spruiking the company line whatever your motive.
I think they were unsure why the SGM was being called and had concerns that it might possibly be about planning PIA or legal action of some sort that might affect the arrival and or operation of more 787s. In other words there was a lot of uncertainty from their perspective and they like certainty. If they can get enough understanding and certainty as to why the rare SGM was called and what AIPA will do next then they might have the certainty they need. Hopefully there can be a clear and constructive dialogue.
