The FAR changes themselves were known for over a year before they were implemented, giving DT more than enough time to program them into DBMS by Jan 1. The new FTDT limits in the contract were not finalized until the MEC ratified the LOA.
My guess is that mgt had no intention of starting to program any such changes until they knew for sure what they had. That's why we keep the old contractual limits until November when the higher ADG kicks in.
