We don't have language that specifies if the company doesn't pay us either.
If the company breaks the contract we grieve it and it is either arbitrated or litigated if required.
Gee, I think we agreed to a delineated penalty for furloughs. It was agreed that the company would remove the additional seats from all the 76 seat RJs if they furloughed a single Pilot protected by the no furlough language.
And guess what else? When it would have been economically advantageous for the company to furlough they didn't.
Why the difference? Could it be because the company knows they can not honor our contract and get off for pennies on the dollar.
A predefined noncompliance penalty has been proven to work, there is no reason the company would not want to do this with JVs unless they want to keep an out.
