3-B. Resumption of separate negotiations and mediation.
Continental and ALPA will resume their negotiations for a separate agreement under Section 6 of the RLA, and United and ALPA will jointly request the NMB to reopen their mediation for a separate agreement under Sections 5 and 6 of the RLA, (i) within thirty (30) days after termination of this Transition and Process Agreement, or (ii) at the option of any Party on fifteen (15) days notice to the other Parties, if by May 1, 2011 the Merger Closing has not taken place, or (iii) at any time by agreement.
If you think it's a bad idea give some reasons, not just a blank statement. It sounds like a win-win for the pilots to me. If your worried about losing leverage, I think keeping your seniority would more than make up for that. We could even have the same contract, just separate lists.
As far as US Air, I said financially they are fine. The pilots are FUBAR. This would also prevent that.
We won't have the exact same contract, thus the reason already stated, whipsaw.
