It is a standard type Force Majeur clause.. look into it. This is a non issue. ALPA would lose enforcement anyway once the company goes to court to prove it's survival is at stake. There are more important things to worry about than this. It would not apply however to self inflicted wounds however. We would not have to bail the company out (thru contract modification) if they do something stupid.
