They really should have tried to get a better profile of the pilot group before throwing those things into the contract. I'd like to know who the MEC person was that has fond memories of "illegals" that planted that in the NC's head to pursue. I'd love to see how many emails and calls were made that made enough impact to send it back to process.
It wasn't pretty, but the final product did turn out good.
I agree the final product is generally solid. It would be really interesting to know how many emails the reps were flailing with. Mine answered me- which was a surprise-after the fact.
As I said earlier, the CDOs don't and probably wont affect me, but once you see them on paper, with how little rest...I had to take a stand against them for the greater good.
I told my rep yes to memrat. Once the CDOs were removed, it was less/not important to me, but I think it should have been memory ratted. It is a pretty significant TA. I was fine with status quo, so I personally was in no hurry.
