How come nobody mentioned this intent until well into this process? Seems like 1st hubturn meeting the Negotiating Commitee rep would have said the company intent is:

How come nobody from the MEC said well when we voted 11-1 for this LOA it was with our understanding that the invol intent is only 30 days?

Did the lawyers say hey that should be good enough for you they intend to make it only 30 days?

Still waiting to hear the intent of changing the Temporary Vacancy travel language from CBA 5.G.1.a "will provide Deadhead" to the LOA "will position". Maybe Jack has the intent in his meeting notes.

I don't think it was a conspiracy theory. I don't think anyone was paid off (on our side of the table). I do think arrogance and pressure to get a bid out forced some bad decisions.
