Shearedshaft,
How is unlimited RJ's if we just purchase the entire company good?
What if we bought Republic and every plane they have after the ink is dry?
You OK with that?
Under the TA, if we bought another company that had RJs, the number of RJs was capped, it couldn't grow. The pilots would have to be integrated into the SWAPA seniority list. No big deal.
However, after rejecting the TA, we can now purchase a carrier with RJs and there is no limit (I'll repeat, no limit) on what they can do with the RJs, they can expand the subsidiary.
Also, under the failed TA, there was zero, none, nada, not at all, nothing in terms of domestic codeshare allowed.
After the TA was rejected, we now have ourselves a situation where tomorrow, Gary Kelly could call up Republic and start flying Houston to Lubbock (hey General). We have zero recourse, nothing in our current contract, that was preached as so much better than the TA says he can't do that.
Simplified: Under the TA, no RJs, unless we purchase another carrier, then the RJs are capped and the pilots join our list.
Under the current, 1994 contract you guys stuck us with, there are ZERO restrictions on domestic codeshare. None.
