In other words... "They haven't done it YET and that's somehow a rationale to keep anything from being put in writing to prevent them from inevitably doing it in the future."
Unreal. Didn't BM even specifically talk about reconfiguring the Q400's for 88 seats in his testimony?
Also from the full text of the award:
That the parties have failed to reach an agreement adding these enhanced protections
in past negotiations is not only a reflection of its intricacy but also its relative lack of
urgency.
WHAT?? What the f@ck does that even mean? One party (company) completely refuses to negotiate on scope and therefore it's not an urgent issue for the other party (pilots)?? How does that even make sense?
