I know that. I’m saying where in the LOA does it say that the triggers only apply when we are under reduced work hours. I’ve looked several times and can’t find it.

It’s the difference between saying “you will reduce our credit until…” and “you may reduce our credit until…” Right now the company is opting not to exercise certain provisions of the LOA (which is good) even though the circumstances dictate that they still can (not as good). They won’t terminate the LOA because they know good & well all this delta variant chaos could throw another wrench in the operation & they don’t want to be in the position of needing to renegotiate the entire thing. It’s there if they need it, but for now, they’re opting not to use it.

You’re not the only one that gave a whale eye when the company put the seats back in the RJs and we continued the LOA despite what seems very clear language that this is a termination trigger.
My guess is that it was either mutually beneficial for the company and pilot group to not terminate the LOA and/or this gives the NC leverage for future negotiations.
