Thanks for parroting precisely managements position.
A few problems however. First the actual language (emphasis added)
In the event the hiring or flow provisions of NWA LOA 2006-10 or LOA #9 cease to be available, either at the feeder carrier affiliate referenced in such LOAs or at another carrier, the number of permitted 76-seat aircraft in Section 1 B. 47. e. will be reduced by 35
The “provisions”
ceased to be available. Period. It didn’t say, “So long as the provisions are not available”. It says, ‘If they cease, then this happens’… When the pilot group needed them, they were not available because them ceased to be available. But for Uncle Sugar’s 3 cash infusions, we absolutely would have had pilots harmed.
Also, this was a 4-way agreement. Was. Endeavor is not a party to it. There is no mechanism to ‘undo’ the ceasing.
