The new company has many less experiences pilots compared to most regionals. Now due to competition DAL decides to buyout or merge the new company and it happens. The new company was operating similar gage equipment to DAL and therefore the mccaskill bond amendment applies I think and like NWA just merge seniority list after an agreement is reached. Nobody needs to take any test or be reinterviewed . Am I correct in this assumption?
Holey moley, what did I just read?
DL's contract has scope, and if the company buys another company that operates equipment that is not permitted to be outsourced by our scope, then it must be merged (and the resulting seniority list integration).
9E operate equipment that is permitted to be operated in an outsourced manner, so no merger and no SLI.
