Somebody probably used those exact words when management first started using regional feed. Allowing another US carrier to operate WB aircraft with AA passengers should be a red line in the sand. Ten years from now they could be flying 50+ wide bodies carrying AA passengers. Those are our highest paying jobs. Delta and United pilots would never allow such an arrangement. If we lose the Alaska WB grievance we are in trouble. There's a reason scope is Section 1 of the contract.
