13-D. Effect of Termination
. Termination of this Transition and Process
Agreement will not affect a Party’s obligations under Sections 3, 7-B-(iv), 8, 11,
12, and applicable definitions in Section 1, nor will it affect any outstanding
payment obligations under Section 15. A Pilot who has been employed pursuant
to Section 7-B will continue, at his option, to be employed by the employing
Airline in accordance with that Airline’s collective bargaining agreement;
however, two (2) months after termination of this Transition and Process
Agreement his pay rate going forward will be adjusted to reflect only his accrued
service credit at the employing Airline.
What's your take on this section. It apears to me that we could go back to first year pay if the agreement is terminated by the company.
I could be wrong, but I had always interpreted that termination clause to mean if the entire merger falls apart and the two airlines return to their separate status' then the TPA will be terminated. If that happens, then (in this instance) CAL cannot fire the furloughees they brought over from United, but if the pilot decides to stay at CAL, their pay rate will revert to CAL's pay rate adjusted for accrued service at CAL.
