Galleyhag i wouldn't belive everything the FAAA prints and says. In one of their newsletters they also said that if you took the basing you 'MAY' not retain your seniority - well this is false. If you did take the position through LWOP you still retain it. The union is trying everything in their power to prevent it happening, which is fine. They just sometimes stretch the truth and word things stategically - the same as the company does.
