Not confused.
As far as LOA #9, it is an understanding of the commitment for all work in article 2. Period. And that commitment only last till 2024. Period.
However, article 2 has provisions for how management is suppose to contract out work, if it desires. First, it has to allow the IAM to bid on work. The reality is that the IAM will be bidding against the IAM and racing to the bottom between mainline or UGE.
Those Article 2 provisions also offer protections for no layoff of members with 2006 or earlier seniority insomuch that they will be offered a job somewhere else in the system.
Not sure what you don't understand as LOA 9 is pretty clear that Aricle 2 is an understanding that such committment, of not contracting out, is good until 2024.
I think you are losing it bro. Maybe pick up an Alaska Airline contract which had similar provisions. Can't compete against Menzies or UGE, so we can almost certainly say they will all be gone unless they race to the bottom and beat UGE.
This reminds me of your stupid interpretation of the "Full Time commitment" letter at United. I took alot of heat for that one but correctly understood language and told people that it wasn't worth the paper it was written on. Now, thousands of part timers later..... But of course, people would rather believe a convieneint lie where those stand in a very long line.
At any rate, I can't stop you from your stupid interepretations but the conversation is exhausted since it's a matter of academics.
