The company does not have our best interest at heart. They are beholden to the shareholders, and if a situation could benefit them they will explore it. It's business.
Likewise, we should shore up any holes in our scope, it's business. Opening it up was a mistake that may or may not have grave consequences. I can't vote yes on something that has such a chance to negativity impact my family's life someday.
But even if scope were unchanged, the "industry leading pay rates", signing bonus, and QOL give backs in a non concessionary environment are insulting.
If if the company bean counters and lawyers have their way it will be tax-deductible. Just look at our wet-lease payment, paid out as a bonus and if done correctly a big tax-deduction for the company.
