LOA = Letter of Agreement.
Basically, it's an ammendment or addition to the current contract that was negotiated with the company and voted on by the pilot group.
The latest LOA improves the "Commuter" policy considerably... It allows you some protections against weather, mechanical breakdown (car or plane), etc. that prevent you from getting to work on time. Ask your ground instructor for a copy of the contract and read it... it's long... but it's worth your time to do so... Especially the sections of Pay, Reserve, and Commuting to start.
