This might help you for the remainder of your career. The answer to your question is that there weren't any "snapback" provisions negotiated. Without "snapback" provisions included in a concessionary agreement, there is no such thing as "temporary" and every contract becomes it's own "stand-alone" basis when the time comes to "section 6" again. Merger, peer comparison and economy notwithstanding.
There is a whole host of people who wish there were "snapbacks."
