Hmmmmm.. then by your own admission, he was right about the language. When CE Woolman died, the handshake went with him. It's all about lawyers, language, and contracts. Sad but true. I don't want any more TBD language. No more language that states "The company will make every effort..." No more of that CRAP. Tell the negotiators to not bring us that junk anymore.
And to stir another pot.. what is the thinking about the payrates on the 737-900ER airframe? Since we gave away 3.b.6, we have no leverage on an airframe that the company ordered without our consultation. More good lawyering for ya....
