The one thing I disagree with is your perspective of how we ended up with no reserve rule changes, but our disagreement is one of semantics. What I took from what Jay said was that they submitted improvements to reserve, and the company submitted concessions. They quickly realized that this would be a major sticking point in the negotiation so elected to remove it with no change. To me that's not ignoring MEC direction. They DID negotiate on reserve, it's just that those negotiations didn't yield any changes: but it should be noted that the no change was also no concessions.
No change to reserve is a concession through the extension of this JCBA. Hope you were able to vote early, yes, and often.
