I don't know if this could be fixed since as someone mentioned it is part of the FOM. I don't think the L-XJT guys have to go through any of this (maybe one of them could chime in). There are a lot of loopholes in the current contract which the company has exploited. They know the whole grievance process only benefits them, so they will continue to do what they want. Hopefully there will be tighter language in the upcoming TA. I will probably have to read it about 10 times to understand, but willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that I vote properly.
