The scope language in Spirits’ contact is awful. Ours is even worse. Here’s JetBlue’s scope. This committee needs to pay attention to this issue. A standard is set for all ALPA contracts. They voted for NO JETBLUE EXPRESS EVER on their first contract. We need to vote for NO FRONTIER EXPRESS EVER!


B. Scope


1. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all flying conducted by or on behalf of the Company (including aircraft under the operational control of the Company) shall be performed by Pilots represented by the Association on the JetBlue Airways System Seniority list.


2. The Company will not enter into any “alter ego” or “double breasted” arrangement, or an agreement in which an affiliate performs Part 121 flying, unless such flying is performed by Pilots on the JetBlue System Seniority List under the terms of this Agreement, except for the period prior to the integration of the seniority lists of the two carriers as required by Section 1.E. of this Agreement.


3. A non-seniority list pilot may perform Test Flights. In addition, in the event no seniority list Pilot is on involuntary furlough, a non-seniority list pilot may perform non-revenue flying as provided below: a. Maintenance ferry flights for heavy maintenance to or from San Salvador, El Salvador (SAL). b. New aircraft delivery flights, provided a seniority list Pilot is a member of the crew. c. Maintenance ferry flights departing from a heavy maintenance facility. d. Maintenance ferry flights departing to a heavy maintenance facility provided the movement of one aircraft is connected with a planned movement and return to service of another aircraft from the heavy maintenance facility.


4. The Company may assign or subcontract revenue flying for up to ninety (90) days (subject to extension with the written consent of Association) to deal with an unanticipated FAA or aircraft manufacturer maintenance requirement or delivery delays caused by the manufacturer, provided no Pilot is furloughed as a result of such contracting. The Company shall provide notice to the Association prior to entering any agreement to assign or contract out revenue flying.
