I believe the point AA is making is that WO regional subsidiaries are still part of their employment group. Yes, it’s a different operating certificate. But PSA, Envoy, Piedmont only fly AA passengers on AA owned aircraft. Like it or not, 9E employees are branded Delta employees when it is convenient and contract labor when it’s not.
Everyone complaining about retired DAL employees going behind 9E - simply put it’s a business decision. 9E has 6,000 employees in the whole network. How many DAL retirees (now separated from the company and not providing anything for the DAL bottom line) are there? Why are you not complaining about DPJ? DAL got tired of paying 3 revenue pax $3000 each to get off the 8am because the 9 retirees got on the 6am several dozen times a week. You want to solve this problem? Fix your scope clause.
