What does that have to do with scope? At least all the YV airplanes weren't pilfered off to a non-union alter ego carrier.

Bottom line - an ALPA carrier has a section 1 that basically says "if it says "Operated by Mesa Airlines" on the side, it's flown by Mesa Pilots". Think even a Bombardier repo pilot could touch one of our airplanes? No. But I bet there isn't anything preventing a Boeing pilot from moving all the 717s to wherever they're being retrofit.

My argument is that they are an ALPA carrier and they have better scope than ours. Doesn't matter the scope or scale of the operation. There is no outsourcing of Mesa flying. Period.
