Problem solved.
Evidently you didn't understand the agreement.

The agreement was signed on December 18th, 2017. So most of peak for 2017 had passed before the agreement took effect. We did get to benefit for 2018, but that was all. The company backed out of the agreement in February 2019. So, we only got one full peak of the agreement. That is a far cry from 3 full peaks and definitely reduces your perceived 100's of thousands of worth. But hey, we gave away the R24 penalty lines in the 757 and got nothing for it because it was the right thing to do.
