There's an 8-ounce glass filled with 4 ounces of water.
Busboy...the glass is half full
BrownGirls Yum...the glass is half empty
Under the old contract we worked we worked 132 days 8 hours (with 90 hours of vacation off) to earn the guaranteed 884 credit hours.
Under the new contract we work 124 days 1.5 hours (with 90 hours of vacation off) to earn the same guaranteed 884 credit hours.
Ever think that was the entire intent when they cost modeled the contract...that we would work 8 days 6 1/2 hours less for the same credit hours. Your arguments are purely semantic to the nth degree
