Why?  Because they were ignorant and simply let the language into the contract, now defining Local In Nature to mean a fixed distance, where there wasn't one before.   Duty Time is affected by this, even though our union's duty-time "expert" didn't have a clue and still doesn't apparently!

FAA says transportation "local in nature" is part of the rest period, which now included a 50 mile drive upwards of 90 minutes!

You union types are stunad!
