Jetblue was given very specific language from the PVC legal as to the definitions of "affiliate", "control" and others. This suggested language and definitions for section 15 were also given. Of course all the suggestions were disregarded.
Jetblue's reasoning for not placing any specific language in the PEA's is based on their belief that the "spirit" of the idea is incorporated in the document. Their are countless examples of the "spirit" of the rule being to applied the FSM, disability, insurance, vacation etc. In a calculated manner the airline choses to omit language and definitions in the PEA giving the airline specific flexibility. It's how it has always been done at Jetblue.
Insurance and vacation are one thing but section 15 is supposed to protect our jobs. Any airline with a union is going to eat us alive in a T/E because specific definitions are defensible in courts. The spirit of the section is not.
There is a substantial difference between the words "and" or "or" in a contract. A capital "P" in pilot means something completely different to a lower case "p".
We live in a specific CBA world with a generalized PEA.
