I must be a complete idiot. Just read the message line, and the union's position is that apparently the STV provision is only a temporary fix for folks who have trouble getting a visa (why don't they just stick with the Dining Club card the company gives us) or getting through training......and isn't intended to be a stop gap measure if, God forbid, not enough people bid the FDAs.

Whoooo, what a load off my mind.

Of course, when I read the signed LOA @ P.F.C......I sure don't read it the same way whoever wrote the message line does.
