I know I used the word "merger" in the title but this isn't so much about the financial health of the companies and isn't directly aimed at the pilot group. This is about a regional carrier so I've put it here in the regional forum. I haven't seen it posted here yet so figured I'd throw the discussion out there.

RAH flies E-Jets for UAL under contract. Just like when TWA was purchased by AMR they had to take CHQ along in order to honor the contractual baggage that came with TWA. If CAL purchases UAL, which is what's expected, can we expect the UAL contract on the E-Jets to be a means to dodge CALs scope clause?
