Well, if we want to get this moving, we need both MEC's on board with a joint strategy to advance joint negotiations that may reach a joint empasse with a subsequent joint cooling off period leading to a joint release and an implementation of an effective and well planned joint SPSC effort to affect a well executive joint JOB ACTiON .

It's all about labor stability. The value of it all boils down to dispatch completion factor, and on time performance. Co-Worker Jeff puts those two items into his bean cruncher and comes with with what you, the widget maker is worth. If those 2 metrics are affected, than that changes what you are worth. The duration of the effect further changes the formula.

It works like this:

DR +/- CF =VoP. ....Status quo daily bean cruncher formula
VoPxTime/DR+CF=LS ....Time value to BoD
VoP x Time/DR+CFx summertime(holidays)=LS ....Summer time and Holidays

DR= Dispatch Reliability
CF= Completion Factor
VoP=Value of Pilot
LS=Labor Stability
