When AA bought the assets of TWA, there should have been a big red flag seen by the AE guys -- specifically with regards to CHQ and TSA. Since CHQ and TSA flying for AE is scoped out of the AE contract, the only thing to do would be to buy CHQ/TSA or negotiate scope relief from AE ALPA. This is just like AA had to do with APA in order for TWA LLC to fly under the AA code.
I still maintain that CHQ and TSA flying AE code is a clear scope violation. What's "fair" and to whom is immaterial. When CHQ and TSA hitched their wagon to a dying airline, any agreements or "rights" they had died with it. It's AE's scope agreement with AMR. CHQ nor TSA pilots fought and paid for AE ALPA's scope clause. CHQ and TSA pilots don't have squat to say about it.
One more time . . . . . What's the most important part of a labor contract???
