Think about it - if "Agreements/LOA's/MOU's between the company & Teamsters are invalid", then that means our entire CBA also goes away?
Doesn't work that way.
Well Actshually...
You would lose Teamcare. The Team in Teamcare is Teamsters. You'd have to go back on the company plan which sucks about the same as every other airline's plan sucks. Teamcare was the best thing about working there. I miss the insurance and some of the people and not much else.

Teamsters self insures through plan premiums. BCBS just administers the plan. Allegiant switched other groups because it's cheaper for them that way.
