The ASA says that if the contract is not approved by 3/31 then the jets that were taken away and are coming back can be taken away again or not returned at a rate of 3 a month. No word on what happens if contract is approved after that date.
Now contract or not doesn't affect NWA in any manner why is it there? FUD - Fear Uncertainty Doubt from mgmt aimed at a unified pilot group. So if the contract is not done pay stays the same as now and # of planes stays same as now. So What .. not worth a dime in the pay envelope.
A bigger thing is the approval to fly for other carriers. That's another mgmt stick gone.
