So what if we got the Eagle planes and flew them on our TDub routes, and then used our Swissair birds to do the MIA flying? Would that be OK?
Plus, we are paying you to operate these airplanes. It isn't like we jacked them from you.
But, I do get the point. It would suck, no question.
I think that's a poor shot at creating an analogy but whatever.
It's not like I went to TSA and said "Hey come lease these Eagle airplanes."
The point behind it is that its BS that guys here, myself included, are looking at being on the street come fall while airplanes that are owned by Eagle are leased to a competitor. It's a violation of our scope clause. Now I will give you the fact that the company won that grievance because Eagle was in a time of "significant growth" and couldn't staff the airplanes at the time. Well if guys here are furloughed that becomes erroneous. That is the issue at hand.
