Pay, of course, but how do we best structure our Scope clause to protect ourselves. Let's look at the possible scenarios for a merger, buy-out, etc. and start from there. Bill Franke is lurking as he transforms Frontier into the same business model, not to mention any other airline with money and bad taste.
Not saying it will happen, but we have to be ready if it does.
Honest question: what good does merger language do in a merger? Aren't pilots protected by:
1- the RLA
2-Allegheny-Mohawk Labor Protective Provisions, and
3-Public Law 110-161
I agree any protections we can get should be written into the new contract, but how much good is it really going to do? It SHOULDN'T cost the company to agree to it in the new contract, but what if they want something for it?
Should we maybe be more concerned with a codeshare with Frontier as opposed to a merger?
