Not unless we vote a change to the contract.

Thanks for the quick reply. The contract language you quote sounds strong, but I dare ask...if the company and union don't agree does that prohibit the building of the trip, or can the company just make it a disputed pairing? Unfortunately, we all know how the disputed pairing situation goes.
