This agreement is solid as a rock.
It is not solid as a rock. Scope still makes us the accumulator and leaves a few of the flanks open.
I also disagree with your premise that we will not recapture any of it.
My personal opinion is that the company wanted this done for a reason, and even if this is turned down on July 1, they still have adequate time to fix it before we go to traditional talks. If we do more to traditional talks, so be it, but it will not take three years. I would at most expect a few months with this the framework they have already done. Too much work and progress to walk away from. You can disagree, and you do I do not mind the debate.
