I don't commute but used to. The VBs are a huge unknown but I'm not convinced they are toxic. I am suspicious of them but our contractual language gives us an easy out if we don't like them. We should allow them to proceed and see what unfolds.
The company might conclude that they are a waste of time and effort. We might feel the same. Either side can pull them down.
Or just maybe, both sides will find them beneficial. It might even be (or not) several years of very successful VBs later we might even ask "what was all the angst about?"
My real fear about VB Is simple. The company came to us, red flag!
The company is not stupid..... make VB a nice facet of the over all TA and when the proofing or vetting period is over and we sign off on it the the unexpected consequences that are money savers for the company will manifest itself and we will blame ALPA YET AGAIN that they should have seen it comming!
Just saying, fiig!
