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.
