you say "with this logic, you will never vote in favor of any contract because you don't believe it will be enforced and we will given them relief on anything. If that's the case, why haven't we just bent over backwards and give the company more 76ers now? They clearly want them, what has stopped us from just giving them more under the current contract?"

first, remember section 1 is seperate from 2-28, at least imho. so wins, and losses, in 2-28 have no bearing on 1. make all the advances and hold all the lines elsewhere means nothing if we outsource where it hurts us most.

what i'm saying is if you concede in section 1 where it matters, more jumbo rj's, why should I believe we won't concede on ratios that compare dci bh to mainline (767ER or larger) bh?

Second, as to why aren't we giving up more 76ers now? We're allowing them to hit triples on scope erosion. If we allow them to hit home runs people will notice the fireworks. Right now they've got a pathfinder TA allowing them to see what they can get away with in terms of scope, pay and work rules.

I'm sure they're excited about 2015 triples. Unless they decide a protracted section 6 is a bigger win.
Okay, I'll agree we should look at section 1 separate from the others.

My point was that if you don't believe the union will enforce section one, THE most important section of our contract, why do would you think they would enforce the other sections? To me it's an all or nothing. Either they will enforce the entire contract or not.

I gotta go! Sorry to "debate and run."
