Further, if the CASM on HA is lower (read lower wages) then B6 benefits indirectly from that. But I am sure you knew that already.
I'll admit I'm over my head, but ALPA seems to disagree (unless I'm reading it wrong)
Can JetBlue use an operator such as JetSuite to provide feed under a Capacity Purchase Agreement?
No, agreed upon language prevents the Company from doing this. The Company is prohibited from entering into any Capacity Purchase Agreements or purchase Block Space on other carriers, and they cannot not purchase equity in, or lend to, another company that is an air carrier or an affiliate of an air carrier as a means to circumvent the provisions of our Scope agreement. Other provisions in scope prohibit JetBlue for using an entity like JetSuites as an alter ego or for doublebreasting
Look at the "prohibited to purchase block space" section. Thoughts?
