I'm wondering if the reason they rushed out this deal and finally decided to negotiate has EVERYTHING to do with this paragraph. Could the rumors actually be true about code-sharing with regionals?
If they pen an agreement now with a regional, and we use negotiations and threat of strike to abolish their ability to sub-contract..... They will have millions to pay that regional to break the contract. But if we sign this contract..... We may never grow the seniority list by one more person while all the growth goes to RJ's.
Am I reading this correctly?
Why the hell is this paragraph in here?
People wanted scope, ya got scope. You guys are thinking way too much into this. The only subcontracting they do is when they are severely short on crews due to training shutdowns or some grounding event for aircraft. This is AAA baseball here, not the MLB. Allegiant is not that creative.
