The Company has included pilots in certain benefit enhancements which were not included in the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. However, the Company is not obligated to continue providing these enhanced benefits should they be unavailable or discontinued for any reason. Refer to the 2004 Pilot Benefits Book and the Collective Bargaining Agreement for a complete description of the benefits the Company is obligated to provide.
