IF they do offer any significant enhancements, then they need to open it up for a re-bid. There are some who would consider Paris or HKG as a captain if there were some improvements.
Fixing this thing---then opening it again only for FO vacancies--negates seniority. And since we all know that is sacrosanct, it should be re-opened.
I would ask that the STV clause be removed as a token of good faith for our union working in such a businesslike manner. I think we owe our folks the ability to NOT be sent to either domicile for 30 days against their will. That would be just one of the improvements that should be implemented if additional side letters are negotiated.
