MEC approval of brand and livery use is in the contract too. This is a tool for the future. No real harm now, but just wait.
Do you have anything to back up that VB's were the single greatest job hit?
There was one mention of job loss from VB's and a offset we got. Both were minor. The 85 hour ALV was a far greater impact.
