Did I ever say there weren't loopholes? You really do love to put words in people's mouths. Every contract is going to have imperfect language. Did you sit down with a contract lawyer and pour over every word before your last vote? I'm sure you relied on the junior low paid ALPA lawyer to examine your contract and catch all the problems. Then I'm sure you read it. I guess the rest of us can only hope to be as amazing as you with your ability to think up every possible loose interpretation or flat out violation that the companies might come up with.
You're still trying to make this a contract issue. Our critical pay arbitration is because the company is knowingly violating the contract clause they offered to us.
