By the way, below is our scope language which is pretty clear:
CBA Section 1.B. Scope
1. Except as provided in section 1.B.2 all present and future flying of any form performed in and for the service of the company shall be performed by pilots on the Mesa Air Group Pilot System Seniority List in accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement. The phase "present and future flying of any form performed in and for the service of the company" includes without limitation all such flying 1) on the company's aircraft (whether leased or owned), or 2) under the company's control, including wet leases and contracting for carriers for other carriers or entities (government, military or commercial)
2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1.B1., above, the company may assign or contract out revenue flying for a period of sixty (60) days during the term of this agreement if a) such conduct is necessary to accomplish the needs of the service of the company, and b) the company does not have sufficient aircraft and pilots to perform the revenue flying assigned or contracted out, and c) no pilot on the Mesa Air Group Pilots System Seniority List is furloughed, or remains on furlough, while the company contracts out revenue flying.
The first sentence is pretty clear. There is no mention of any routes or city pairings in our scope clause. This flying is being performed for Mesa Air Group, Mesa Air Group receives income from this flying. It should be performed by pilots on the MAG seniority list. Even the Caravan flying. We have pay rates for caravans (0-19seat turboprop).
