Could it be management wants to water this benny down to frustrate us in an effort to get rid of it this time around?
Agreed. It will be gone on the next contract unless all FO's vote NO.. ALPA doesn't care, they agreed to get rid of it on the last contract and luckily so many FO"s voted no, it didn't pass(TA1)
