EWRblows, what exactly is incorrect? The initial Skywest deal is gone. The pilots never had a say in it and never will. It is GONE. Finished. XJT BOD turned it down. Front line employees didn't get a single word in. As far as I can tell, front line employees didn't know about it 'til the SEC filing.
Sure the union is getting all stirred up now, as well they should be, but they are already at least five months behind, if not more. In another way, they are far ahead thanks to the foresight of earlier pilots that negotiated scope. Keeping scope intact should prevent some of the nastier side-effects of a purchase or merger. Scope doesn't prevent a purchase or merger. Scope only addresses what happens AFTER a purchase or merger.
Skywest, in the initial offer, which was declined and thus no longer exists, decided to make Scope an issue in their purchasing decision, they could have just as easily not mentioned anything about Scope.
The union doesn't get to determine who buys what corporation. I have yet to see anywhere in the contract where the pilot group gets a vote on mergers or outright purchases. If it is in there, please cite the section and paragraph.
BTW, my comprehension statement was directed to our man of many words in this thread, Superpilot92.
