Yep, we did miss this one when we signed LOA12. We gave relief to 1.F.1. We were not polled, nor asked, nor voted for this, but according to both LOA 12 and our scope committee, this is a “code share agreement”
The scope committee email from the 31st says;
“So, is the Northeast Alliance (NEA) a codeshare or a joint venture? The answer is that it is something in between, which is essentially an enhanced codeshare agreement.
The codeshare agreement between JetBlue and American:
1. Is industry standard and supported by conventional IATA language and references IATA Resolution 780 Interline Traffic Agreement as a basis for the language of the codeshare agreement. (If you are not asleep yet, I recommend reading IATA 780, it’s better than melatonin.)”
We can’t go back on LOA 12 anymore, it’s done. We must protect our CBA going forward.
LOA 13 is a strait up concession to section 1.
