13-A. Partial Termination. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the Airline Parties (that doesn't include ALPA)
may jointly terminate the provisions of Sections 4-D (Domiciles), 7-A (Furlough
with regard to United Pilots only), 7-C (Flying Ratios), 7-D (Domicile and Base
Protection), and 9 (ALPA Travel), individually or collectively, at any time on or
after December 31, 2011, if the parties have not reached a tentative agreement on a
JCBA by that date.
How much decimation could be done on the UAL side by that provision?
Frats,

Yeah, but......if the company decided to terminate these sections, our MEC leader said,............wait for it......wait......(in wonderful ALPA lawyer speak),
"THAT WOULD REQUIRE A CONVERSATION WITH THE COMPANY."
That was repeated at least 3 times in her video 'town hall' meeting. It started to become clear how forked we are after hearing that exact phrase 3 different times.
