To your final question. My numbers came in more or less in line with the poster I quoted above, but they presented it better than I could. The problem was it was a concession in the section of the contract that was of meteoric rising importance, which has proven to be true, but was never recognized.
you joined APC in 2015...my guess is you've likely been here a lot less than 20 years. Oh yeah he said 20 plus years in his analysis...before you asked him so guessing you didn't actually read it?

look many of the changes the CO wanted in TA- were because of problems they saw during COVID - wet lease issues when they were hiring as fast as humanly possible - AVA abuses in their mind, VAC Cnx abuses in their mind. They likely had little future value once everyone realized COVID times weren't lasting. Why didn't they realize that? IDK...but they didn't hence the extreme over hiring. I wasn't a fan of changes in scope either but it wasn't that big a deal and should have been recognized by anyone doing a proper analysis with just a little bit of experience under their belt.

Opening a section doesn't mean the end result is a benefit to one's side. Right now our current NC is negotiating in multiple sections that the Company opened - think it's worth your time to do a deep dive when we get the eventual TA or just assume all of those sections are concessionary?
