I learned this the first week of indoc ten years ago. Not sure why it's a big surprise now (esp. to fDAL guys).
I was reminded of it (by the union) when the union put out a contract bulletin about it after they made the company put the reminder pop up in dbms a few years ago.
Not sure how much they stressed it in fNWA info (if at all?) but I'd think it's reasonable to say that even if they didn't know about it, after they get the pop up screen reminding them to enter the expenses, they'd at least ask a question of somebody?
