I think what he's trying to say is that they haven't sat reserve very much since 4a2b, and therefore do not know what it's like now. 10 years of sitting reserve 10 years ago doesn't equate to being an expert on sitting reserve today.

That's just my interpretation.

No I wasn't under the old FCH system, and yes I am a relative newcomer here. And I shouldn't have thrown stones at the MEC or NC--they are not the ones optimizing/exploiting the existing CBA language regarding reserve. The company is the one doing that. So I truly apologize to the MEC and NC.. That's what I get for digressing. And I'm big enough to admit when I screw up.

Admitting you were wrong, owning up, and admitting you screwed up? Way out of character for these forum threads.
