I don't know the specifics of the XJT contract. I do know that the XJT contract is one of the stronger ones out there. Thus, I'd be surprised if the contract didn't have language that requires whoever uses that certificate to use the XJT pilots and comply with the XJT contract.
It's normally in the CBA under scope/successorship. The CBA moves with the certificate, you can't differentiate those. One of the most important pieces under any CBA, also something ALPA has always defended.
