Adjective
(of a process or system) Characterized by constant change, activity, or progress.
Noun
A force that stimulates change or progress within a system or process.
Merging by relative seniority, then applying pull & plug to recognize the potential for future retirements as an equity resulted in "a force that stimulates change." Some have benefitted, others have lost.
A status quo merger by class and category would have been less dynamic.
Pull and plug was intended to represent the equities presented in a dynamic list concept. It had it's effect, and once the Delta retirements kick in will continue to benefit some more than a functioning dynamic list would.
For others (based on historical and projected rates of attrition) it was a 6 year career set back. That was probably more of an effect than the Mediator or either party intended but no one anticipated the amount of consolidation that was coming. Had we known, a lot of us should have moved on to better opportunities
(as a 76 lineholder I passed on my FedEx pool opportunity ... total idiot ... about 400 times a day).
The hook, "
things will get better next year" keeps us coming back
