If they tried to withhold on that, or if we had to sue them to get them to pay it, that would be a helluva harassment tactic. Theres a lot of dudes that wouldn't have the stomach for that...
Under the Railway Labor Act, our contracts do not 'expire', they become 'amendable'.
So once we pass by the Amendable Date (Jan. 1, 2016) we continue to operate under today's contract, WITH PROFIT SHARING UNTOUCHED, with 100% of trips dropped for IOE for F/O's, with no BS third party Sick Leave Verification, or any of the many other concessions in this T/A.
