I don't see the MAX900 in there. I understand this language to mean that if they acquire any aircraft other than those specified below the contract must be re-opened to negotiate a pay rate. I also take this to mean that if we do not have a new contract when the MAX700s and/or MAX800s arrive on property that we will in fact be legal to fly them. The company must open this section to negotiate rates but that's it. As we've seen this could take years.
