You can thank your management for negotiating that on your behalf.
Not sure if that is in the Xjt contract but the Asa contract says after 5th aircraft. The TA language was turned down and means nada now.
And even if that protection is in the xjt contract, Skywest won't be taking any more 50 seaters, especially an entirely different type than what they currently operate. If they take anything it will be 700s and 900s, possibly some 200s.
I would tend to agree on the transfers, probably only the 700/900s. There are 69 of them so that would be 345 CAs and 345 FOs. Of course the most senior pilots would bid over in that wind down scenario.
As for the language itself, it's in both contracts now. Your management negotiated that for us in our transition and process agreement. It modified ASA's contract and added that language to the XJT contract.

They would have to go through the time, trouble, and expense to get another 121 operating certificate from the FAA. There would be no point to it so I highly doubt it.
