Exception two: In the event the hiring or flow provisions of NWA LOA 2006-10 or LOA #9 cease to be available, either at the feeder carrier affiliate referenced in such LOAs or at another carrier, the number of permitted 76-seat aircraft in Section 1 B. 5 47. e. will be reduced by 35.

I have a feeling this will wind up in front of an arbitrator.
There seem to be 2 sections of the LOA that reference either Compass divesting or the flow provisions being unavailable.
I would argue that the most applicable to our situation is Compass divesting, because that is a very specific situation. The reference to flow provisions being unavailable is very broad and would be applied in situations other than Compass divesting.

Didn’t they add the section on Compass going away to specify the hiring and flow provisions which would satisfy allowing the extra 35 aircraft? There is nothing which states the hiring or flow provisions must be made available without DALPA’s approval of another LOA with the new carrier.

There has to be an LOA covering any new flow agreement; Both for DALPA and EDVALPA.
The company has already sent its proposal to the EDV MEC. I don't know the details, but I assume the majority of the movement will still be DGI, with a few flows. 80% DGI / 20% flow is my WAG.

The company seems to view the “at another carrier” language as permission to substitute an Endeavor flow agreement. I think that because we have been without a flow agreement we have moved past this language and the company can’t retroactively add Endeavor. I think this language would have come into play if we had a flow “at another carrier” prior to the Compass being terminated, and would have allowed the RJs to stay in the DCI system.
In my opinion once the company had to park the 35 RJs, other language for modifying or canceling the LOA became the “effective” section.
If I haven’t said it enough, just my opinion I’m not a lawyer.

Of course they can add as many RJs as they'd like to mainline without our approval.
