LOA 12 gave relief to section 1.F.1
LOA 12:
1.For the period beginning on the effective date of this LOA and ending on May 1,2021,the Parties agree to the following:
a. Subject to Paragraph A.2-3herein, the Company may
enter into a Commercial Agreement with AAL, pursuant to Section 1.F.1 of the Agreement, not withstanding the requirements of Section 1.F.1.a-b of the Agreement.
CBA:
1.F.1:. The Company may
enter into a Commercial Agreement provided: a. The block hours operated by the Company increase during the relevant Comparison Period compared to the relevant Base Period, and b. The number of Active Pilots employed by the Company on the effective date of the Commercial Agreement has increased compared to the number of Active Pilots employed 365 days prior to the effective date.
We have
entered this agreement per the relief given to our CBA. LOA 13 changes the requirements to
maintain this agreement with concessionary language to CBA section 1.F.2
I still haven’t heard a single valid argument as to why part B of LOA 13 is superior to section 1 of our CBA. On the contrary, the concessions purposed with this LOA will give an opportunity to LIMIT the growth (2024) of both our pilot group and block hours flown that are currently protected under a code share agreement.
