I am always (like most IMAX folks) willing to share with people how I do it. But I also understand that most people choose to not learn. There’s a reason that those in leadership want to hang onto it though so it’s not going anywhere.
Missing the point. I'm not arguing against using IMAX as it stands today. It's there. Have at it.
I'm arguing that for a tiny minority of the group's benefit we lose in other places. Instead of just flat out trading it for something else in negotiations we are going to try to hold on to it while the company slowly but surely whittles away at it. 14+ day sick credit for example. At the end it'll be useless to everyone but a select few statuses and we will have gotten nothing for it.
Our horrendous sick accrual/disbursment in the AIP(no changes to current book) is a direct effect of IMAX.
