It is indeed open to interpretation, and you make my point better than I can. You take a rather nebulous statement and skew it to an extreme so as to impugn your own union representatives and weaken their position at the negotiating table. At least you own it.

Do you personally have schedule control? I think we could agree you do, because we have a system that lets you influence your monthly and training awards. No one would suggest that control over your schedule can only mean you alone dictate your schedule. Pilots want the RCC to similarly influence rotation quality rather than have all inputs potentially be completely ignored. Don’t be so obtuse as to interpret extremes that aren’t there - it’s really unbecoming.
