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!

I just want to say I love the information age. This will be the first contract in history vetted under the watchful eyes of 12,000 plus pilots using google to refresh everyone's memory of who is intending to do what, what past leaders said/mistakes made.
Also using smart phones, ipads, laptops and home computers. The union (who very well may have been duped themselves with slick talking Mr. Campbell) can't say things without having it fact checked in almost real time. The phonies that continue to sell a leaky contract as it is being exposed to be should be ashamed of themselves.
