Are you referring to 1. B. of the first page of the LOA? It says the LOA and amended CBA are contingent on authorization from the BOD to place an order
and on reaching acceptable terms with an aircraft manufacturer/lessor for delivery.
Despite popular opinion, this amended CBA has not guaranteed that we will be flying jets. A very big and uncertain part of this is how AAG will get their hands on 30-60 E175's.
In reading that section, I do not think there is an adequate escape clause for us to return to the negotiating table if they choose not to order airplanes to be flown by Horizon. If that is the case, this pilot group may very well have just sold six years of bargaining rights for nothing - just an unenforceable CBA through 2024.
How do you think our bargaining power might have been in 2018? They were just given a six year extension on our existing contract two years early.
