This agreement is solid as a rock.
The scope could be a great deal if it was shored up. Its current state has too much wiggle room for the company to hose us, too many shiny jumbo RJs that will help DCI maintain viability longer, and could be an absolute train wreck if we end up in a merger soon. In fact, it's basically us paying for management's mess they made while raping you in bankruptcy last decade.
Personally, I'm totally fine with going the section 6 route if that's what it takes to get it right. We may miss out on some time value of money (talk about a sales pitch line...), but the benefits to the career would be priceless.
