The reason is that we are still operating under our bankruptcy/concession contract from five some years ago, amended with a bunch of Letter of Agreements. So what happens is that you can read the contract and think you know what it is saying, but without knowing that we have an LOA regarding that section you would be getting misled.
As stupid and silly as it sounds, our contract doesn't reference LOA's in the contract itself. So again, you may think you are reading the correct information, but there may be a hidden gem somewhere that would completely contradict the contract.
Anyway, best of luck, the easier solution would be to ask your specific questions here and let others answer.
No, you’re operating under a 16 year contract that was amended with LOA’s over the years, went through several amendment rounds were short term gains cost the group long term losses repeatedly. Then a round of concessions for promises of good things, with more LOA’s, then a bankruptcy that became another amendment round only with more concessions and a 10 year extension.
If you think reading all the LOA changes is hard now, you should have seen it before our MEC consolidated all the old ones into a single source CBA back around 2013.
