Just to clarify something, LOAs are just as enforceable as contract language under the RLA. In essence, it’s an addition, clarification, or amendment. They are still negotiated under the provisions of the RLA and are no less viable than the contract it changes. For all practical matters, it doesn’t matter whether it was in LOA then and part of contract language now. It’s a distinction without a difference.
