You are mostly wrong. He can't "change the contract"...it is an agreement. However, he can invoke force majeure as your "economic conditions" wording is just as weak as ours.

Whether or not we are in for some "rough times" has nothing to do with loa 39 and its wording. The process for implementation and integration of our list(s) is governed by the LAW..not the ibt, alpa, fapa or anyone else. Your union is doing you the disservice of assuming you guys will believe what they say. I am not being trite when I say you need to educate yourself by reading and researching the RLA, Allegheny Mowhawk and previous sli negotations...especially ones ruled upon by Eischen.
I agree that one list is very critical against whipsaw; however, the process is what it is and there will not be implementation the day after the new list is announced.
