So, are you going to use that arguement when CS tells you to do something in the contract that you don't want to do?
Let us know how that works out for you.
I do agree there does not appear to be any language in Sup. W that requires a pilot to transfer. I also can understand the arguement that there is no specific language because nobody ever expected anybody to not want to go.... there are many valid arguements I've heard from both sides.
That is why there is an arbitration process and it's what all the lawyers get paid for. Actually, the worse they write these types of things, the more likely it is they will have repeat business downt he road to help sort out the mess. Kinda a self serving mess they create isn't it?
