A point about a "mentality" that had nothing to do with Thrust Hold's comment but you assigned to him anyway because it furthered your agenda.
All he said in so many words was that he didn't care if he was off the per-diem clock for a few hours between hub-turn trips that start end end each day because that allows the flexibility of being able to trade them for better, easier trips. That's CURRENT BOOK, i.e. what we have right now. Someone saying they like something in our current contract isn't the problem you seem to think it is. BTW, for 3 hours between hub-turns without per-diem accruing, we're talking about $6.90 So, there's no "mentality" behind his comment other than basically saying, "I like what we have in this specific area and I wouldn't want to change it just to get an extra $7 of per-diem daily in exchange for losing the ability to trade my hub-turns for better ones." You don't agree? Fine. There's plenty of areas of the current CBA one pilot holds dear while another couldn't care less about.
This comment below you made is purely agenda driven and absolutely is a big leap.

Explain to us how TH's opinion about hub-turn trading and per-diem generates this comment from you.
