Section 1 aka the Scope section of your contract is way bigger than that richard-head stole my flying. Code share, joint ventures, mergers, change in control, successorship, fragmentation and other legalese terms like this are all scope issues. If your contract doesn't have this kind of language ask your buddy for his and actually read it. This is big picture stuff. It is ALL scope. Ask a UAL guy how that Aer Lingus part of their scope language works. If you can't see beyond the aluminum tube measuring contest, then you're missing part of what scope means.
