Side Letter 8?

I found this on a forum, and it REALLY is troubling. Todd keeps saying that our affiliates protection is "airtight". But part of that protection is apparently based on a letter from some VP at SWA. On the other hand, SWA pilots have a side letter that:

• Guarantees all aircraft, orders, options and deliveries come to Southwest Airlines and pilots on the current SWAPA Master Pilot Seniority List.

• Timing and coverage of the SWAPA CBA – when AirTran pilots receive our contractual benefits

• Manner in which any integrated seniority list will be utilized

• Provides a clear and concise definition of Complete Operational Merger which will be the foundation for when items such as the SWAPA CBA can be extended to AirTran pilots

• It reaffirms that separate operations will not exceed twenty-four months without mutual agreement between Southwest Airlines and SWAPA

• The agreement provides SWAPA the opportunity to open Section 6 negotiations six months prior to the September 1, 2012 amendable date specified in the CBA

• Provides Block Hour protections

• Protects our domicile RON aircraft levels

• Provides additional furlough protection above and beyond that specified in our CBA for up to one year after complete operational merger

• Guarantees the inclusion of SWAPA in the Southwest transitional planning process and allows for expedited arbitration for any disputes resultant to the application of this agreement

Meanwhile our protection is based on a letter we don't even get to see? That hardly seems airtight. I'd really like to see the real documents from both sides ...

Todd's good people, but I'm still nervous.
