Because what you are discussing sounds like the company is shifting back to a "bean counter" mentality, and would rather maintain status quo and wait for another section 6 opening rather than engage us "constructively." You also state that the company feels that they have "lost" financially on the LOA's of the recent past and is not interested in "engaging" us to continue the process of mid-contract tweaks.

Maybe I am just reading too much in to this...
