“The Company asked for this exact relief during the current prolonged Section 6 negotiations. In fact, in its June 2017 comprehensive proposal, the Company proposed the following language to be included within Article 8:
At ETOPS launch stations within the contiguous 48 states, the Company will use Southwest Technicians to perform ETOPS pre-departure checks. At ETOPS launch stations outside the contiguous 48 states, the Company may utilize on-call providers to perform ETOPS pre-departure checks.”
Now just because the Company wants to add language to avoid any ambiguity when it comes to current or future interpretation doesn’t necessarily imply that if they do engage in a particular activity that a current contractual violation has ensued or even if taken to Arbitration (No BS Lawsuits) the case that a violation has occurred could be met.
I want to take a little more time to read that update but I’m not seeing offhand the arguments for any violation myself driver?
Of course if you’ve been convinced there would be one I most certainly hope you’re right.
