LOA 17 says that the NEA automatically terminates in 5 years unless the matrices ARE met. If they are not met, ALPA has to consent to allow the NEA to continue. (AIP B.3). It has much more tooth, but probably still unenforceable.
The company needed our permission to do the full NEA per our “legally binding CBA.” Ditto for LOA13. See how well that worked out? Yeah. They’ll do what they want later and drag it out in arbitration and then federal court if need be. Meanwhile, we will fight over the scraps.
