They know they’ll need the lift eventually. We’ve also made it abundantly clear: Scope is not for sale. This is their cheapest option. They lose, they are back to where they were last month. They win though…
If they lose and try to negotiate, they know a TA that increases RJ flying by even 1 jet is DOA.
I’ll say it again for the folks in the back, Scope is not for sale.
You are exactly right. Us and our regional partners couldn’t staff 35 extra airplanes today worth of flying. They get a free half court shot here to try and get a huge win. If they miss, nothing gained nothing lost. If they manage to make this shot—ALPA weakens it’s position and the company gets a huge win.
LOA should have been redacted the day Compass went out of business. Hopefully this gets killed and we order more mainline planes after they rule in our favor, which I believe happens anyways.
