Unless you have a secret line to the inner workings of scheduling, everything you, I, and everyone else has posted, is conjecture and opinion. The biggest difference we have is that most people are choosing to see this as a good thing, whereas you are choosing to be unhappy.
I'm not choosing to be unhappy anymore than people are choosing to be relieved and elated. I am choosing to explain how this was a knee jerk poor deal and describing its flaws. Yes, all this is my opinion and I'll own it. I also take issue with the process. There was no reason for my opinion to come out after the deal. There's a reason the company does these deals in the dark. 17,000+ minds are better than a few on the NC. I'm not saying the NC is bad just that all this could/should have been considered by the group before we got locked into this MOU. Not a good look for the MEC but this seems to be standard outside of section 6.
