That still reads more like the "contractor" has the right to offer a revised bid and match a competing companies best bid, but Continental/UAL still doesn't have to award it to them.
It's like restricted free agency in sports, your current team has a right to match any offer given to you by another team, but you don't have to take it.
Exactly! That's all that "right of first refusal" means. It doesn't guarantee anything other than that UAL would have to award those replacement and additional aircraft if Skywest matches a bonifide bid. It also doesn't preclude UAL from awarding those aircraft even if Skywest is unable to match any bonifide bid.

Nobody believes that, especially me. You'll just call me more names, cite more ambiguous documents, and claim more things you have no first hand knowledge of. I'm aware of legal filings with the SEC. I've read 10-K reports. Your own document claims right to bid, which as said above, is afar cry from any guarantee. When you get the 70 seat replacement airplanes, we'll talk. Until then, as I've said before, I'm done with your trolling. Go cry on The Pipe.
Actually, I did provide the language that assures the right of first refusal. Saying it isn't there doesn't make it so. Here it is again:
]after providing Contractor with a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Continental setting forth the material terms of such bid (specifically including all terms material and beneficial to Contractor) and providing Contractor not less than 20 days to review and match such bid
Anyway, like I said above, the right of first refusal is not a guarantee either and I never said it was. I really don't understand why you can't see for yourself that that language does exist.
