1. We aren't talking about the 747 Base CLOSING. At issue was the base REOPENING. I don't think that has ever happened in such a short time frame.
I wish we HADN'T given the company relief there. It would have been WAY more costly for them to have to put bids out instead of grandfathering. THAT is how you make them stop bumping and closing. Make it expensive to do so. What C171 proposes is a WIN for the company.
2. You want the company to pay for messing with people's lives? Well giving them 24 month grandfather rights is exactly the opposite. It SAVES the company money.
