It's no wonder we are getting railroaded from all angles

What is your version of "intent" ? The Company has always worked the deviation system this way since I have been here, I am on 11 year pay. What is to worry about for the Company ? With the further degradation of the accepted fare system they are only saving more money. Deviations can NEVER cost the company more than they would of spent, just PURE savings. I personally think the savings are OK because we have a good, could be better, deviation system.
The Company is changing the way we do things in the accepted fare arena, not much we can do at this point apparently. The Company is and will continue to be on a cost saving hunt. Lowering the pool of money that a deviator can spend is the easiest route to save more.
