I think you should talk to your MEC about not willing to negotiate. When one group says this is what we want and we wont budge on it even though you are presenting a case for your side... that is a huge problem. That is what the ASA MEC did to the XJT MEC on a PBS system.

It took them 6 months to get around to looking at both systems side by side and even with this report they are assuming the use of the base software with no amendments... so this report is basically useless without knowing the amendments. I don't know what is worse the fact that they or someone has a serious agenda to railroad their idea into existence or the fact that they are now trying to sell this idea that they have been willing to compromise all along. There has been accusations of the same on the part of LXJT but that turned out to be completely false.
