They have a few gems like that apparently, i.e. big holes in the work rules. It appears that there were competing factors as well as a rule that basically said if they voted it down, they had to negotiate a "cost neutral" contract, meaning if they did get an improvement, it would come from some other benefit.

At least that's what I understand from reading through their posts.

And ya the SLI over there is going to be a big fight. It will make us look like the gentlemen we are.
