Yes it does, under certain provisions, and only as a dry lease arrangement. Included in those provisions is that the aircraft cannot be operated out of any city our seniority list pilots operate out of. That would limit these planes to odd midwestern city pairings and left coast destinations.
This deal appears to be within the confines of the RAH CBA, but barely. However, I believe Bedford is counting on Midwest to never take these airplanes and operate them on their own. This is a hustle, with RAH offering a shiny glimmer of hope while setting up a dark reality.
