Quick check of Alpines posts reveals that he posts exclusively about industrial relations issues relating to the FAAA and ALAEA, and he admits to not being a LAME.
It will be interesting to see which people suddenly stop posting if and when this thing is settled.
Good luck on Monday ALAEA people, and well done to all of you and your executive. Please, please look very very carefully at the detail of the document, phrase by phrase, and check the definitions up front as well and if there is a word that appears out of place, or that wasn't there before, get it checked again by the lawyers.
I learned the hard way about the huge differences in legal meaning between what look like very simple phrases:
"discretion" and "unfettered discretion" (which doesn't require the other party to be reasonable at all)
"reasonable efforts" and "best efforts" (the latter meaning every effort short of bankruptcy)
