Above is page 3 of 3 of a document entitled “COVID-19 and Force Majeure Claims in Performance of Contracts” published by the evil airline labor law firm, used by all airline managements, to explain how to leverage force majeure contractual clauses in the context of the covid crisis. You can read the full document for yourself here. FordHarrison wrote the book on airline union busting. No doubt the company’s entire strategy on this ploy is authored by them.

Basically, this is the company’s attempt to insert a force majeure clause into our contract after the fact. The 10% TFP rate cut is already a hard, hard, gfy no for me but the insertion of a force majeure clause is far more valuable than a 10% rate cut to the company. This is them attempting to achieve, outside of Section 6 and with a bullsh**, made-up sense of urgency, something they forgot to consider when the CBA was negotiated.
