Johnso, there are things like intent, the negotiator's notes, etc that come in to play with interpretation. Suffice to say there are a lot of parts of this issue that are all over the place in the PWA and the LOA's. Some language is more restrictive some less. It is not my job or your job to determine it.
I have talked to my reps, let my opinion be known, and in the end that is all I can do. It is now in their hands. Time will tell, but it is a ugly issue with far reaching implications.
