I’d agree. Line holders, myself included, are not willing to give up a single line holder protection to improve reserve. At the same time the company can’t get people to take upgrades under our current contract unless they improve reserve rules. I don’t think that FSB is going anywhere being that our line holder protections restrict the company more so than what occurs at our competitors, but rules ensuring transparency, defining how it is used, and sufficient add pay when it is used would be considered significant improvements by most. The company has to be able to staff short notice disruptions to operate. Without concessions from the line holders, some unpleasant aspects of reserve will remain, but they should be clearly defined and compensated accordingly.
