If AA decides not to replace the aircraft, AA agrees to one-time penalty payment of $250K per aircraft uncovered in 2014, $155K per aircraft in 2015 and $100K per aircraft in 2016 Any of the above penalty payments will be retained as a credit to the Association. The association will have the discretion concerning how this credit is used.

By the time this is over we will have gone 24 years without a Section 6.

So ALPA gets money while we lose flying and have guys on the street.
