I think letter 1 was written to prevent the pilots from being mis-used by mis-management. Its an insurance policy against whipsaw action. This should not be given away freely. If an acquiring company had our best interest in mind and wanted an exemption to the clause we might think about it but the protections should never be taken away. It also protected acquired pilots as well. It protected guys that did not have protection from language in their contract also. The intent was to further the well benefit of all pilots and not short shrift any group.
