There will be loopholes in every contract, our MEC along with ALPA need to minimize those loopholes and I feel they've done a good job of that in this proposal.
Even if the process does work, it still takes a long time.
On the other hand, parking aircraft (even the old 50 seaters) will cost the company money because the leases must be paid. That kind of violation gets settled in weeks or months, not years like pilot contract violations.
So when it comes down to it, which will the company violate?
If Eagle management is anything like all the other management's out there, then I would expect them to violate your flow in order to keep the planes flying. Not only do they delay the judgement, but they have a decent chance of winning if they can prove that the lack of new hires was unforeseen and outside of their control.
