That's a load of CRAP and you know it. You think it's entirely up to us to "figure it out" and magically make changes to the policy - in the midst of Section 6 negotiations that have been going on FOR OVER THREE YEARS with no progress. Gee, if you have the magic ability to make AMR management listen to YOUR suggestions, be my guest - heck, write a book! because you'll have discovered something nobody else has.
Look, I understand why you guys are ticked off, and rightfully so. If I could change it yesterday, I would. Please be patient.
P.s. Thanks xjsaab, you get it. We will get this worked out in our next contract.
