I agree ALPA would try and organize commutair and skywest. I just find it funny that while expressjet is loosing flying to non union carriers (and doing absolutely nothing about it) that they would try and court those pilots.
What exactly are you talking about? What leverage was signed away? XJT's scope language has nothing to do with who Continental decides does their flying. XJT's scope language can only speak to the flying done with XJT aircraft regardless if they are flown for CAL, DAL, UAL, etc.
