Even better, the TA gives Republic a specific exemption to perform large jet flying by exempting Chautaqua and Shuttle America (wholly owned subsidiaries of Republic) to be exempt from the improved holding company language:


Summary:
  • Our PWA has language to prohibit a DCI carrier to fly large jets.
  • Republic aquires Frontier and operates A320s, orders the C-Series.
  • Many Delta pilot call their reps and say it violates the PWA.
  • The DALPA lawyer responds that the PWA language isn't enforceable as written.
  • My rep promises to make sure the next contract is better.
  • New language in TA prohibits operations like Republic from operating larger jets.
  • Exemption added to TA specifically permits Republic (Chautaqua, Shuttle America) to operate large jets contrary to news language.
Really? This alone in context of BBs plans should be a NO vote!

George, that is a very compelling argument. I want slow or Alfa to prove it wrong.
