In case you haven't noticed, the LEC reps are still taking calls and input, and are reactive to mid course guidance. The reason I pointed that out is because we might want to start reviewing and thinking about UPA scope provisions and what type of changes we would accept or reject. Once you get a group leaning one way they tend to minimize or disregard warning signs. Didn't we learn about this in CQ?... The MEC update was the 1st mention of scope related to this TA. Assume that away if you wish, but my antennae just got perked up.
this is a good point. It makes me wonder if this TA really incorporates 80% of what was agreed on in prior contract negotiations. It seems to fit some of the rumor narrative around pay raises etc.
it would also be very convenient to push it through on a rush timeline as an LOA rather than a new contract.
but maybe I am just too suspicious.
