IF IT HAS CONNECT ON THE SIDE, YOU ARE VIOLATING SCOPE. WHY DO YOU THINK BB WANTS A DEAL BY THE END OF THE MONTH? But I am sure you guys are o.k. taking our flying. It never bothered you before.
Speaking ONLY for myself, I am extremely bothered about the 190 Midwest flying prior to integration. It is obviously a violation in many ways. Too bad for BB if he has to wait until the integration is FAIRLY completed. Hopefully our Unions are working together on this.
A contract is a contract until it is invalidated by some legal means and, from what I understand, the Midwest contract doesn't allow us to fly these aircraft. Then, WE SHOULDN'T BE FLYING THESE AIRCRAFT! Integration is something that should not be rushed. Once it is completed, I'm sure someone will feel screwed, but that is the nature of the beast. I'm relatively junior at RAH, so I'm sure my situation will definitely degrade. But then at least we will have a, hopefully, clear legal means to fly these planes utilizing an integrated seniority list.
