Those agreements don't mean ****.

Ask any XJT pilot how their Delta agreement was cancelled years before it expired.

Thats not exactly how that happened at XJT. XJT still had a year or so on the contract and contacted Delta about renewing it. Delta told them they wouldn’t be renewing the contract. XJT management was also trying to get an new CPA with UAL but UAL wasn’t sure the XJT could staff the flying. XJT/SkyWest management negotiated winding down the Delta flying early so they could staff the UAL opportunity. Delta didn’t pull it early, XJT negotiated the wind down early so they could sign other opportunities.

UAL does not want a Gojet abandonment of the 550s like TSA did with the 145s. That's why UAL is moving some 550 flying to Skywest, so they have backup. It is relieving Gojet from having tp pay the large bonuses to get pilots.

With the temporary abundance of regional pilots they figured it was a good time to make the restructure.

Where are you getting that little nugget from?

Force majeure can nullify any contracts that were signed previously. Perfect example is CPZ

So what exactly did the termination language say? You must be pretty high up to have had first hand knowledge.

Little birdie I heard said classes in May.

I highly doubt that, even if a recruiter tells you that, it does not mean is going to happen, keep in mind that they were planning on senior pilots leaving, that is no longer happening, since all hiring at the majors has stopped. Also the company is asking for pay cuts and possible furloughs (the Covid bill might change that, but we do not know yet). Pilots on leave would have to return before new classes are started, currently leaves are being offered until June, so new hire classes maybe in August, if everything recovers well, nobody knows how long is going to take.

It means “Either some people leave on their own or we force some people to leave” LOL
