Again, we will do what we have to with an arbitrator in order to get us a fair deal. If it requires numerous RAH people to down grade or be furlouged, so be it. No big deal to me. I don't owe you or your company anything but as long as they own my company, they own my contract. I expect them to fullfill that contract until the end. That includes you.
You didn't answer my question earlier about what in your contract is being broken by the 190s. You keep saying what you deserve and how you won't take anything less but what else are you going to do? No offense intended but serious question. You say you want to be at the top of the list but what options do you really have if that isn't the case? You say "no" then what? When you say that you won't accept anything less does that mean if something less than what your idea of fair is offered that you're going to walk away? I honestly don't see this 98% number of yours as something realistic. It might not hurt to lower your expectations a little bit and not expect to walk out of anything with the world in your pocket.
