golf,

yeah....it used to be 11CH spread (until Jan 2008) - new CBA changed it to 13CH.

my question is more one of "where does the secondary line MAX number come from?"

I thought it was supposed to be based on the regular line max, but I guess the company can just pull a secondary max # out of you-know-where and then build the secondary lines down 13CH from there?

in other words....the 13CH spread is contractual - but where is it written what these MAX secondary numbers they come out with every month have to be?

is this another 4A2b - we (management) decide what the max will be? and ALPA can't do anything about it?

all we (management) have to do is comply with the 13CH spread? and not go below the 4A2b 48/60CH?

that must be the answer.
