-Of course CBA provisions can be changed, my point was that the APA changed the provisions of the MOU AFTER we voted on it. With no input from USAPA. The same thing you are accusing USAPA of trying to do. I voted for a MOU that had a 1/3.25 rig. They APA dropped that for me.
-You show me in the MOU where it says that USAPA will have no role in the SLI. Show me other MB SLIs where the former CBA had no role. You're right, there should be no interpretation, but that is what the APA decided to run with.
-You said that if there was a chance that USAPA could be elected as the CBA you would not support them having total control over the process. I get it, I agree, that's why it makes no sense for the APA to have that role. "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other."
-A lot of people have problems with what you say. So, what is the common denominator with that? YOU.

Now if you will excuse me, I've wasted :15 minutes of beach time on this.
