Sailing, this doesn't make any sense. The company wouldn't want it if it didn't benefit them. I'm tired of the old "we don't see any issues" mantra from ALPA, like sick leave verification, followed by unintended consequences biting us in the butt. We have to stop the cycle of voting yes on something without really knowing what it means only to find out later that it sucks.
