Point being, just because they're not happy with the OE removal, it's not on us to be fixing it or finding ideas to fix it. They could manufacture "company need" on about anything in the contract. Doesn't mean that just because they brought it up, it needs a pilot concession.
I'm in no hurry to fix it. I think it's fine in the current form. I'm just acknowledging that it's a burr under management's saddle. Right or wrong, it will reappear and will need to be addressed. Let's be prepared.
