SCHEDULE 7 TO SUPPLEMENT NO. PA-489-2

 

DISPATCH RELIABILITY GUARANTEE

 

1.0                                 Intent

 

The intent of the Dispatch Reliability Guarantee (“DRG”) is to achieve the full potential of the inherent technical reliability of the Aircraft through the joint efforts of Bombardier and Buyer.  To that end, Bombardier agrees to take action as specified below and Buyer agrees to set its Aircraft fleet dispatch reliability target equal to or greater than 0.4% above the Guarantee Value so that both Buyer and Bombardier’s technical staff can pursue attainment of the Guarantee Value (as defined in Article 3.0 below)

 

For the purpose of this Guarantee, the dispatch reliability shall be for the Aircraft purchased under this Supplement.  It is understood by Bombardier and Buyer that this Guarantee does not replace, cancel or extend similar dispatch reliability guarantees agreed upon in previous agreements between the parties, which guarantees shall remain in force and effect pursuant to their respective terms and conditions,

 

2.0                                 Definition

 

As defined in World Airlines Technical Operations Glossary (W.A.T.O.G.), a chargeable technical delay shall be any delay greater than fifteen (15) minutes beyond scheduled revenue departure time caused by malfunction of equipment affecting any of the Aircraft (“Chargeable Technical Delay”) and a cancellation shall be the deletion of the flight from Buyer’s operating schedule, provided that no more than one (1) delay or cancellation shall be charged to the single event of a specific malfunction (“Cancellation”).

 

3.0                                 Guarantee Value

 

Bombardier guarantees that the Aircraft dispatch reliability with respect to avoidance of Chargeable Technical Delays or Cancellations shall, at the end of the period indicated below, meet the guarantee value percentages specified below (“Guarantee Value”)

 

Period

 

Guarantee Value (%)

 

 

 

 

 

Months six to twelve

 

****

 

Months thirteen to twenty-four

 

****

 

Months twenty-five to thirty-six

 

****

 

Months thirty-seven to sixty

 

****

 

 

38



 

4.0                                 Term of Guarantee

 

****

 

5.0                                 Formula

 

As the term is used herein, “dispatch reliability” shall be a six (6) month moving average numerical value (expressed as a percentage) which shall be calculated by application of the following formula:

 

DR

= 100(1 - CD/SD)

 

Where:

 

 

DR

= Dispatch Reliability (expressed as percentage)

 

 

CD

= Total Chargeable Technical Delays and Cancellations.

 

 

SD

= Total Scheduled Revenue Departures

 

6.0                                 Assumptions

 

The Guarantee Value is predicated on a revenue flight length of seventy-five (75) minutes, a minimum turnaround time of forty (40) minutes and a minimum through stop time of twenty (20) minutes. Bombardier reserves the right to renegotiate the Guarantee Value in the event of deviation in the aforemade assumptions.

 

7.0                                 Conditions and Limitations

 

7.1                                 Buyer shall make all reasonable efforts to return an aircraft to service and to use available spare aircraft to maintain its scheduled flights.  No Chargeable Delay and/or Cancellation with regard to a scheduled flight shall be counted if Buyer is reasonably able to maintain that scheduled flight without knowingly causing it to fail to maintain another scheduled flight.

 

39



 

7.2                                 Any delay or cancellation due to any one or more of the following causes shall not be considered a Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation in computing compliance with this DRG:

 

a)                                      Delay or cancellation due to operation or maintenance of equipment in the Aircraft not being in accordance with the approved Technical Data;

 

b)                                     Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation due to acts or omissions of Buyer including but not limited to unavailability of serviceable spare parts and ground support equipment on a twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week basis, located at each of Buyer’s operating facilities, not dispatching in accordance with the approved Minimum Equipment List and purchasing and maintaining spare parts provisioning that is substantially less than the level recommended by Bombardier, unless Bombardier are unable to deliver spare parts within Bombardier’s committed timeframe.;

 

c)                                      Chargeable Technical Delay or cancellation due to the unavailability of trained and certified (Buyer’s or contractor’s) personnel on a twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven days a week basis, located at each of Buyer’s operating facilities.

 

d)                                     Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation caused by problems that have had relevant recommended Service Bulletins or Airworthiness Directives issued against them, if Buyer has not incorporated the bulletin on the Aircraft in question provided that Buyer makes reasonable efforts to incorporate Service Bulletins consistent with Buyer maintenance program.

 

e)                                      Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation caused by BFE of Buyer or Buyer designated equipment (equipment designated by Buyer and purchased by Bombardier on behalf of Buyer);

 

f)                                        Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation caused by the Power Plant or Power Plant Parts;

 

g)                                     Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation due to any modifications to the Aircraft made by Buyer without Bombardier’s written approval unless Buyer furnishes reasonable evidence that such modification was not a prime cause of the delay;

 

40



 

h)                                     Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation due to acts of God or acts of third parties or force majeure including, without limiting the foregoing, random external sources such as FOD (foreign object damage), tire blow out, bird strikes, lightning and damage sustained during ground handling;

 

i)                                         Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation due to normal wear and tear of brakes and tires;

 

j)                                         Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation caused by late release from scheduled maintenance;

 

k)                                      Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation caused by scheduled servicing tasks, routine maintenance and/or scheduled maintenance activities (including both routine and non-routine maintenance resulting from such maintenance activities) that are performed during normal operation time that would normally be performed during over nights (provided any such non-routines could have been resolved in an overnight and accordingly would not have resulted in a Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation) or;

 

l)                                         Chargeable Technical Delay or Cancellation when a reported mechanical problem is checked out by the mechanic and found to be fit for service or within limits In accordance with the aircraft maintenance manual.

 

7.2                                 Reporting

 

Buyer shall provide to Bombardier not later than thirty (30) days after the last day of each month all reports pertaining to dispatch reliability as required by Buyer’s regulatory authority and in accordance with Service Letter RJ-SL-00-002 as amended from time to time regarding Electronic Data Standard Exchange (EDSE).  Buyer shall also provide a report to Bombardier of the corrective action for such Chargeable Technical Delays or Cancellations, and the information on modifications or Service Bulletins relevant to such Chargeable Technical Delays or Cancellations accomplished during each month.  Buyer shall also provide Bombardier such other information and data as Bombardier may reasonably request for the purpose of analyzing Chargeable Technical Delays or Cancellations. Bombardier shall respond to the data in a timely manner and shall provide Buyer with a summary of fleetwide dispatch reliability reports on a monthly basis.  Failure to Buyer to provide the required data, in spite of Bombardier’s notice and within thirty (30) days thereof, shall void this Schedule.

 

41



 

7.3                                 Master Record

 

The master record of dispatch reliability will be maintained by Bombardier based upon information provided by Buyer’s maintenance control program as requested herein.

 

Bombardier shall format the data into Bombardier’s format.

 

8.0                                 Corrective Action

 

8.1                                In the event the Achieved Dispatch Reliability, as reported to Buyer by Bombardier, fails to equal the Guarantee Value for the applicable period, Bombardier and Buyer will jointly review the performance for that period to identify improvement changes required.  Bombardier shall also provide, at no charge, if requested by Buyer:

 

a)                                      technical service support to analyze Buyer’s operating procedures, maintenance practices, training programs, manuals and publications and related procedures, practices, policies and programs that can have an adverse effect on dispatch reliability and recommend any changes in such procedures, practices, policies and programs reasonably indicated to improve the dispatch reliability;

 

b)                                     review of data related to parts, material, components, accessories, spare parts provisioning and forecasting and equipment incorporated in, and used in connection with, the Aircraft and furnish technical advice and information to Buyer for the purpose of improving the dispatch reliability of the Aircraft;

 

c)                                      corrective Bombardier engineering design changes and modification kits of Bombardier Parts and material for the Aircraft which will, in the joint opinion of Buyer and Bombardier, cause the performance of the Aircraft upon Buyer’s installation, to meet or exceed the DRG.  The modification kits and design changes supplied by Bombardier which provide added value to Buyer beyond that required to reach the specified guarantee value will be negotiated by Bombardier and Buyer to define the cost allocation of the “Added Value”. Failure by Buyer to install a Bombardier change shall result in the exclusion of the associated malfunction from the dispatch reliability computation, unless Buyer can demonstrate to Bombardier’s reasonable satisfaction that the change would not have eliminated the malfunction; and

 

d)                                     Bombardier shall use its reasonable efforts to require its suppliers to provide corrective action at no charge to Buyer to the extent required

 

42



 

when Chargeable Technical Delays or Cancellations exceed the guaranteed dispatch reliability as a direct result of failure of equipment designed by such suppliers.

 

8.2                                Bombardier’s liability to investigate and provide corrective action under the terms of this Schedule shall be dependent upon the quality, extent and regularity of information and data reported to Bombardier by Buyer.

 

9.0                                 Implementation of Changes

 

Buyer may, at its option, decline to implement any change proposed by Bombardier under Article 8.0 above.  If Buyer so declines, Bombardier may adjust the number of Chargeable Technical Delays or Cancellations by an amount consistent with the expected reduction in Chargeable Technical Delays or Cancellations based on reasonable substantiation to Buyer and on other operator experience, if any, as if such change has been incorporated.  Bombardier shall not make adjustments when Buyer has demonstrated to Bombardier’s reasonable satisfaction that such change is not cost effective to Buyer.

 

10.0                           Duplicate Remedies

 

It is agreed that Bombardier shall not be obligated to provide to Buyer any remedy which is a duplicate of any other remedy which has been provided to Buyer elsewhere under the Agreements, by the Power Plant manufacturer or by any vendor.

 

11.0                           Limitation of Liability

 

THE DISPATCH RELIABILITY GUARANTEE PROVIDED IN THIS SCHEDULE AND THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES ON THE PART OF BOMBARDIER UNDER THE AFORESAID GUARANTEE ARE ACCEPTED BY BUYER AND ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF, AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND RENOUNCES ALL OTHER REMEDIES, WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES OR LIABILITIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THIS DISPATCH RELIABILITY GUARANTEE CONCERNING EACH AIRCRAFT DELIVERED UNDER THE SUPPLEMENT, ARISING IN FACT, CONTRACT, LAW, TORT, STRICT PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, CLAIM OR REMEDY WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED) OF BOMBARDIER, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ASSIGNEES, OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS OR MERCHANTABILITY, ANY IMPLIED CONDITION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OR
