That is why LOA's with fixes in 23, 12 and the like are great. They will allow the big items to be dealt with in Section 6.
Also, that is why the MEC and your reps sift though all of the wants, input et al, and come up with needs, and wants and then prioritizes them. Yep, it upsets people, but that is their job. It generally is not fun nor popular. Someone always is going to be let down.
That said, we all know job protections should always be number one!
