The problem with that is defining "addition to saving the jobs." It's like the MEC saying that adding 70 new jumbo RJ's was actually a scope win.
The company needs to be held to the exact language of the contract. Operate those NRT slots...every single one. If not, then hold them to their only other contractual option which is to end the Joint Venture. The contract language we have was written and negotiated for just this reason. The fact we're even discussing modifying it for some difficult to define gain is troubling.
