I don’t hold out a lot of hope for corp giving us all those parameters, but I’d at least give them an hour to see if they’re open to the pilot groups requirements. If not, I’ll join the no PBS crowd.
You’re assuming that we can write iron-clad language to maintain control over pbs parameters that will be honored by corp. However, recent trends seem to indicate that corp is very good at bypassing the intent of contractual language when it’s too expensive and/or inconvenient for them.
