It sounds like to company can select between either critical or super critical on any given day. If that’s the case than the sunset clause is to limit the amount of time they can use it as a band aid. It looks like it protects the pilots and not management (management never
has to declare super critical).
It would be nice to get the OT scale increased permanently, but our unrestricted OT rules are already quite a bit stronger than other regionals so I doubt it’ll happen…
