This bickering makes me sick. I couldn't care less if you are "A" or "B" scale, or a LHS or RHS driver, (I'm the second in both cases). I don't know how many times I have said it but this debate and eventual vote isn't about RA65. The company would have you believe it is though. This is about the company wanting to avoid bypass pay. Nothing more nothing less. What ever is negotiated it will be less than what we would currently get under our current contracts otherwise the company would just pay us the bypass pay.
Finally I don't think anyone and that most definately includes me think we deserve our command now as "Iceman50" would lead you to believe. What we are arguing here is our right to our contractually agreed conditions,ie bypass pay for extentions past 55.
