ATY,
yeah, done deal. Why don't you go and tell NR that? Or better still, tell the couple of very senior trainers who were just told by RH and NR, no extensions on anything. Nada. Not even on the freighter. I guess NR must be keeping his cunning plan carefully hidden because these guys were given no comfort whatsoever. Perhaps if you keep repeating it long enough it will eventually happen.
By the way. I do agree with you, RA65 will happen one day. But only when it suits management. Even if CM's appeal is successful, there is still a long road from that to adoption of RA65 across the company. Legal processes are anything but speedy and at the moment there is just no benefit in it for CX (yes I think they will survive without all that experience and Max reheats CRM). They will therefore take their time with this until their hand is forced or they see some financial or operational imperitive for the company. It's just business. End of story.
