It is all a grand setup!
DS/HPE/CX arrive at a turd, sprinkle some fake gold flakes on it and try to sell it to us with a GC recommendation to vote yes.
Membership votes NO and then CX has a mandate to unilaterally introduce said turd without fake gold sprinkles!
Membership votes YES and has to live with the turd!
Please remember, we are pilots, not plumbers!
