H&D, Ok, I am confused. If it is stated that under no circumstances will there ever be out bases (or words to that affect), then where do you come up with the 7 year deal? Why would anyone in charge say no basings, but then say, you have to be here 7 years in order to be eligible?
Here we go again with the admitting DECs were a huge mistake. Better check the latest seniority listings and see that DECs are still coming. Certainly not in the amount as a year ago, but if it was such an admitted disaster (by whom, by the way, and when was it announced), I would assume that all DEC positions would be shut down.
I just love these, factoids by those i"n the know".

Just asking the questions, no agenda.
