From the RAH pilots contract I found online:



G. Sale/Transfer/Lease of Companies’ Aircraft

The Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. (the Parent) or any Subsidiaries of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. may not sell, lease or transfer an aircraft to another Air Carrier or entity for the purpose of evading the terms of this agreement. The Company, Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. (the Parent) or any Subsidiaries of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. may sell, lease or transfer an aircraft to another Air Carrier or entity when the Company no longer requires such aircraft for its operation.



I. Dry/Wet Lease

1. The Company will not enter into any wet lease agreement with or for any other carrier or entities (government, military or commercial) without mutual agreement with the Union.

a. No Pilot within the bargaining unit will be reduced in status or lose any income or employee benefits while discussions are taking place or during the period of the wet lease.

b. The Union will not disagree to a wet lease solely due to grounding of Company aircraft due to a force majeure event, i.e., governmental action or an act of nature, so long as the Company acts with due diligence to remedy the event.

2. The Company will give the Union at least thirty days’ notice prior to the effective date of the dry lease of Company aircraft to another Air Carrier or entity pursuant to Section G. At the request of the Union it may review the actual dry lease documents, subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements.
