Then throw in a ratio that favors mainline by an extra 6%, which is significant. Ah heck, we can ask for a 28% DOS pay raise in a few years. No biggie.
Same old infantile response - if you don't want to sit reserve bid away from it. Using that logic, reserve will get more onerous with every contract going forward and the gives used to increase lineholder QOL because, after all, reserve is a choice. Plus, I think Lumberg has developed Snarky Response Syndrome(SRS). He/she just can't let a no vote post go unmocked. I feel for you Bill, I am also a sufferer.
