Note that I didn't mention Section 8, as that has already expired.

But again, I fail to see the rationale for the company to want to terminate any sections outside of those named in section 13-A. And even within 13-A, I don't see the company cancelling any section other than 7-C.
I truly hope you're right, my understaning came from a dialog with my LEC rep that prompted several rounds of email questions to members of the negotiating committee (by my rep.). I don't claim to be an expert, I'm only repeating what was explained to me.

For the record, I like your interpretation better and agree that 13-A is titled Partial Termination, and 13-B,D refer to Termination.

This is a question that should be asked thoroughly and often as it obviously could have a negative effect on a furloughed pilot taking employment at CAL, and frankly, UAL furloughees don't need anymore "negative effects".
