These LOAs are severly lacking and if we changed sides, RA would NEVER agree to the garbage we do.
Do Airbus and Skywest negotiate never-ending contracts under the auspices of the RLA?
FDX pilots have a clause in their contract that limits the amount of wet lease lift. Once the limit is exceeded, the company has to pay a financial penalty to the pilot group. Even with this in place, FDX management outsources and pays the penalty, as it's still cheaper than hiring enough pilots to complete the schedule. Is that better than taking each scope situation to expidited grievance?
The company weighed the options and chose to willfully disregard the scope clause. Monetization of scope can be a dangerous road to travel...
