There will be NOTHING to stop Bedford from adding the airbus to the Republic certificate a few years from now for a whipsaw scenario. This may be a short term gain for Frontier pilots, but its a potential long term disaster for all parties involved.
Actually, it is being violated.
H.5.
c. The operations of the Company and those of the other air carrier shall be kept separate unless and until the processes described in paragraph b above is completed and the seniority lists of the two pilot groups are integrated in accordance with Sections 3 and 13 of the Allegheny-Mohawk Labor Protective Provisions are completed. During such time of separate operations, neither aircraft nor pilots shall be interchanged without the Union’s written consent.
What part of Midwest and RAH is separate? RAH flying a branded MIDWEST AIRLINES aircraft with RAH pilots. REALLY, SEROUISLY, is that separate or does that just benefit you right now.
Article 1. D.
3. The Company, Subsidiary of the Company, the Company’s Parent or Subsidiary of the Parent shall not establish any new airline (alter ego or otherwise) or acquire a controlling interest in any carrier whether directly or through the Parent or another Subsidiary of the Parent, and maintain it as a separate carrier. A “Controlling Interest” or “Control” means the ownership of an equity interest representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding capital stock of an entity or voting securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of outstanding securities then entitled to vote generally in the election of such entity’s board of directors or other governing body.
In March 2009, RAH gained 50% interest in Mokulele, and increased that interest to 55% in May. Yet there appears to have been no operational integration of Republic’s and Mokulele’s operations in Hawaii. RAH increased its ownership to 89% in July, but again, there has been no operational integration implemented or announced and both the Republic pilots and the Mokulele pilots have yet to be affected by control.
What happened to the REQUIRED integration. And you guys wonder why all the RAH bashing.
