and I agree, if they come with a low ball offer, it will get voted down. I do trust the MEC to know their audience. We will see what happens in the coming weeks whether we are in for the long haul or not.
I did the math based on 23m7 reports last month and the total cost of open time by my back of the napkin math (m7 payments plus premium pay) was $40mm/ month it costs to cover open time, only including trips that incurred 23m7. It’s a half a billion dollars a year.
do you (the grand you, not You) realize the lengths any company would go to in order to remove or even just mitigate a line item that equals nearly 10% of profits?
