What do you base this statement on. What has the companies huge savings been so far? 23k elimination for all training events is a large dollar number and so far the 12 month seat lock has saved the company not one dime. When we start hiring it will save the company some money but only for a new hire who would have bid another school in his first 9 or 10 months with the company. When hiring starts the cost of lost 23 k recovery will also soar for the company. This was costed out heavily in our favor. We were shocked the company even considered it however 23k for training events was one of the most hated work rule changes and they seemed to recognize that and opened up their checkbook.
