Ever heard the phrase:
"It doesn't matter what you think...If what you think doesn't matter"
That fits your argument. It doesn't matter what you think. Yes, if they used the carryover hours to raise the BLGs...Then, of course RLG would rise. However, if they just used the carryover hours to build more lines, the RLG would not change. It's simple. And, we don't have any say as to which they would do.
You ask if I doubt they reduced carryover to raise the BLGs so they wouldn't have to buy up so much? I don't know. Maybe. But if that's the case, why didn't they just reduce carryover even more and not buy up at all? Pretty simple answer for a few million $$$.
And now that they're not buying up BLGs...What would their incentive be to add those carryover hours to our BLG? They could just build more lines, at the low end of BLG and save even more. We are overmanned by thousands, remember.
Again, the bottom line is that it is possible to raise RLG with carryover, or just build more lines with it.
