Your assumptions are incorrect.
Section 24 is Supervisory/Special flying;
Basically if the company wants Swayne to help them as a special PR person, they need to take him off line flying and front his salary as part of the recruiting/management budget. Not line pilot credit. The get around this because Swayne is running his own business using Envoy flying while selling the content back to Envoy.
Section 26 is dedicated to Maintenance pilot positions. These are qualified and bid roles with special contractual pay and rules.
Envoy has the old Eagle contract which dates to the 1980's. It's 700 pages and the most comprehensive regional pilot contract in existence that I know of.
