Management will always be management and you come to expect their behavior. I blame ALPA.
Our union was complicit with management in crafting the "permitted aircraft" provision with no restrictions in Delta's scope clause literally driving flying off the property.
The alter ego Republic was created while the Chautauqua pilots were negotiating to get around the US Airway's scope clause. Freedom was created as Mesa's alter ego to get around the US Airway's and America West's scope clause-enter the race to the bottom. A rising tide lifts all boats and ALPA turns a blind eye to "regional" alter egos at their peril.
Our union refused to let our MEC bargain with the entity that controls the flying, Delta Air Lines, for a meaningful scope clause.
Our union scoffed at the idea of unity at the PID and gave us brand scope instead. Lame. Ineffective. Deceitful. Designed to give mainline MECs the control to subordinate the brand partners MECs. If brand scope gets put in place, we'll have to negotiate with management and the Delta MEC-neither of which is on our side.
I'm not sure how long the Comair pilots can continue to hold up the bar alone while fighting management and their union.
If this isn't a gut wrenching vote for every Comair pilot, they're simply not paying attention.
