The ALPA BOD member knew from the beginning. Dubo was briefed as soon as he became MC by the outgoing MC. The incident in question (I'm reciting this from memory, so might not be perfect info...) involved when the FINAL vote was to be taken. MC Dubo was trying to stall as much as possible to sort out the particulars (Pilot contract, seniority pre-nup that complied with ALPA merger policy, ect.) Dubo did NOT oppose the merger on it's merits, just wanted all the particulars to be worked so that if it went down, it would be a success. BOD knew they needed two of the three employee reps to comply with ESOP governance rules (all transactions in excess of 100 million). System roundtable rep was PRO. In the past IAM and ALPA had attempted to vote as a block and support each other. Goodwin played nice with Dubo until Peckerpaul defected. Mr. peckerpaul was a former US Air employees (never turned a wrench at UAL). After he defected, Goodwin called the meeting (conference call) faxed over tons of data, and said "vote in 15 mins". In my book, that alone is reason to vote no. Dubo voted no, Peckerpaul voted Yes (he had the competing interest of 141M at UAL AND U, and IMHO did not comply with his fiduciary duty to the UAL IAM). Most of those players are gone now.
