JV flying (except with Skyteam transatlantic)
Alaska Codeshare and other international codeshare
AND 255 off-list 51-76 jets.
Would would you agree or disagree that it would be a gain or loss in scope if:
Capped and PERMANENTLY reduced (over a set timeframe) all 50 seat jets and no renewal permitted off-list
0 off-list future turborprop flying
ALL JV flying required to be 50% DAL pilot EASK's/block hours/whatever metric), lookback average returned to 1 year instead of 3, with monthly financial penalties paid to the Delta Pilots when out of compliance.
ALL codehares have time limits or cutoff points if the codeshare is a revenue deal
Alaska codeshare is limited/reduced over time/ sunsetted completely.
DAL can operate 1 more 51-76 seat RJ's off-list for every 2.5 50 seat jets that are removed from service, up to a limit of X airframes (say 50-100)?
Is it a gain or loss....
***DISCLAIMER***The above is NOT anyone's scope proposal(mine, company, or union), just a hypothetical question.
Gotta go, I'll be interested to see what guys think later.
That's a loss. History has shown that an overly complex scope section holds water like Swiss cheese. Keep it simple. Fancy plans like that never survive first contact with real lawyers.
