Same example. A company that hires pilots to fly passengers creates and owns three "separate" companies, all flying the same passengers that they were paying a union contracted pilot group to fly. Except now they pay WAY less to fly the same passengers AND use the companies against each other to secure pay cuts from the labor group. And legally we have ZERO protection from this, that I can see. Getting everyone to vote "No" hasn't worked and isn't the same as legal protection. Separate contract companies are one thing, but I have a huge problem with the parent company owning and managing B scale companies for the sole purpose of acquiring cheaper labor.

Once again, I've taken it too far. My apologies.
No, that IS the response and advice from ALPA legal. Fly it and grieve it is their position on how the RLA works.
Don't believe me; call Marcus Migliore at national legal and ask. If it's a contract dispute - all contract disputes are minor grievances under RLA - then you are told to fly it and grieve it.
