Midwest grievance

[Minimaniac]

Another question is if TPG wants 170's on the MEH certificate, where are they going to get them? They can't dry lease the current RAH airplanes. Are they going to spend the money on new airplanes?

The current deal they inked with RAH says exactly that Midwest WILL DRY LEASE the RAH 170's (if certain conditions are met). Yes, this violates the RAH CBA. But BB is doing what he wants in order to keep revenue flowing in. If the IBT wins its claim of scope violation in regards to the dry lease portion of the agreement a year from now, then BB will be happy that for one more year he kept those planes in a revenue generating situation.

If he creates a holding company and reregisters ("sells") the 170s in that company's name, will the dry lease still violate the CBA?
