Let's do away with all healthcare options except for the HRA plan like Skywest to help us better compete, are you for that also? They have it, why shouldn't we?
Medical and dual qual are two different negotiation sections. I personally would not agree to a change in our medical unless it is to lower our costs to that which 9E currently has.
I believe a no furlough clause for a specified time period would be attainable. Given the projections of hiring at majors I don't think it would need to be enforced.
I agree with you I would be a no vote on dual qual unless there are gains made in other areas.
