Albie, Thanks for scribing for the rest of us.

Here lies the pitfall that we continually fall into. We, as a pilot group, look at things in the context of their intent and of our current system form. The company looks at things in terms of what they can make of it. We think, 'They won't involuntarily STV many people," while the bean counters are thinking, "look how much money we could save by involuntarily STV'ing the max number of folks."

If this LOA allows them to get away with something, then they will. Really, why wouldn't they?

Also, 30 days against your will is still too long in my book. 15 or 19 days, anything else is voluntary. It wouldn't take too much of a bonus to get people to go...at draft guys would probably be jumping over each other to get there, and I'd say good for them. Heck, good for anyone who wants to go for free, of their own choosing.
