The part that makes me ponder was your line about us flying a route that you have a contractual right to fly. What route would that be and by what contract would that be? From the start, our union has told us that if YX were to strike, we'd be off the routes from day one. No contract was broken..we know that as from day 1 we looked at it all to see if what YX management was doing was legal..guess what, it was. Happy about what happened over there? Never. 100% completely out of our hands? Absolutely. Do the YX guys deserve this at all, especially flying the 190 for bad rates? Nope. All any of us can do is make sure the new contract we're trying to hammer out right now is where it should be. I truly don't think you're at YX, but for the sake of playing with you, you can't get mad at your own management because they're giving you the finger and not listening, so it's easy for you to lash out at us. We get it. We'll keep doing our jobs, getting the contract we deserve, with or without you, it's up do you.
You don't get it. If those 190's fly with Midwest on the side it is a direct violation. Our contract and the arbitrator's ruling specify this. The only reason the arbitrator allowed the 170's is because of the Connect sticker and it was a "code share." RAH bought the Midwest brand and it can't "code share" with itself. The YX pilots contract states that the pilots go with the brand and the contract is fully in force until integration is complete. So if the 190 says Midwest and isn't flown by a Midwest pilot then it is in violation and therefore if a Republic pilot is flying it then they are flying scab work. Hence why BB wants the SI done by the end of the month. He knows he has a losing battle if ALPA files a grievance 01 Aug and Midwest pilots aren't flying them. If he puts a connect sticker on the 190's then it also violates the arbitrators ruling.
