I'm sure there were good folks there and not denigrating them at all.
I never said they were all scabs, or even mostly scabs,if you re-read my post. I just found it curious as that is where more than a few scabs were (either instructors/heading the fleets or in charge of the whole building) and if that had anything to do with the sweet deal there. Only was trying to glean WHY the company agreed to such a great deal to those in the training center. If negotiating capital was spent to get the deal, then what had to be given up and who (JR folks maybe?) had to pay for it? For a contract that was not known for being generous, the deal at the training center seems to an outlier by 2 or 3 standard deviations. That, to me, was interesting.
