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?
My profile shows 2015, but have been here quite a bit longer. I lurked for years, but finally had to join in 2015 when that TA came out. I think my first post, maybe second, was actually warning about the lack of scope in the 2015 TA if I remember right.
We all recognize that a lot of what the company wanted was due to covid. Unfortunately, the scope section was terrible (my opinion), and the rest that have already been mentioned. You and Jakal came to a different conclusion. Fair enough, but a lot of people did do a proper analysis, and when you combine that with the change in our current system form, you can see that those worries are completely warrented.
I'll do the same deep dive I did last time, and if any section is concessionary you bet i'll be the first one on here to mention it.
