ARTICLE 1 - RECOGNITION AND SCOPE

The Company hereby recognizes the Union as the sole collective bargaining agent and authorized representative for those Employees of Southwest Airlines Co., composing the craft or class of Flight Simulator Technicians as certified by the National Mediation Board in Case No. R-6113 on June 4, 1992.

It is understood that Employees covered by this Agreement will perform the maintenance of Flight Simulators and other work functions as described in the classification of Flight Simulator Technician, at the Southwest Airlines Training Center and such other locations as may be assigned. Because it is extremely difficult to define certain work as totally inclusive or exclusive of the covered Employees work scope, the parties agree that to the extent possible past practices shall govern. It is expressly agreed that management and vendor personnel may render assistance to covered Employees and, further, may participate in and be responsible for the design, development, modification, and experimental work associated with the flight simulator function.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, their successors, administrators, executors, and assigns. It is agreed that if the Company voluntarily transfers the control, operation or management of substantially all of the assets of its business to another person, entity, company, corporation, or firm for the purpose of enabling such transferee to conduct scheduled flight operations over the Company's routes, the Company will require such transferee to assume the obligations of this Agreement by specific provision in the agreement of transfer; and it being understood that the Company considers the members of the bargaining unit to be thoroughly competent Employees (except where recent disciplinary actions are part of the Employee's personnel file), the Company will give its highest recommendation that any such transferee permanently employ those individuals who are employed within the bargaining unit at the time of such transfer.
