There were people within a week of the AIP NN, myself included, who were stating this was exactly how it was supposed/intended to work, based on conversations with Reps/Negotiators. Again, the intent is to “lessen the suck”, not to pay you more. IOW, it’s a rotation construction improvement, and one of the better ones at that.
I have heard this before. And I understand the SRH, as that just repeats information in the PWA. But how does a prospective NN become "legally" binding? How would an arbitrator in court view it if we could not produce information in the contract, but could via NN? I imagine it would not be favorable for the union, as the only legally binding document per the RLA is a collective bargaining agreement. If it's not in a CBA, it wasn't agreed to, as far as the law was concerned.
