I got a better exercise for you Alfa, chill out.
And then explain why you think it is a bad idea to require those hired to fly the line to return to the line after going off line (management/training, union) or forfeit their number after a certain point.

If you don't think this is a problem then you should not have a problem with it being put on paper, eh?
Reminds me of the request to put it in writing that there will be no more scope concessions. The argument against putting it in writing is that ALPA promises there won't be concessions but to actually put it in writing is a bad negotiating tactic.
