If CC said, "We want to give you guys the E175s tomorrow", do you have a set rate for it or would it have to be negotiated? I imagine it would have to go through a negotiation committee.
They "negotiated" the pay rates for them a couple of years ago when management said they wanted rates for them. That triggered section 23 of our contract that basically says they negotiate pay and work rules for 30 days and if there is no agreement it goes to arbitration. The arbitrator ruled and the rates are part of that ruling. The rates are $2 more than our 145 rates along with the other work rules (mainly PBS) that came about with that ruling. So yes, if they wanted to place those aircraft at LXJT, they can easily do it.
