Alaska is an exception. We have separate Section 1 provisions which spell out that arrangement.
Republic is already a sore subject. If you ask me, they are in violation of our scope clause right now even though our code isn't being used on the E-190 flights. Unfortunately, the ALPA National lawyers have over-ruled that view.
I think you missed the point. There is scope in place for Delta flying but what scope is in place if Skyteam became a "virtual airline" that Delta became a feeder for. Now you have to compete with the lowest cost airline of the day like Rebublic, etc.
Major airlines could be put in the same position that the Regionals have and have to compete to be the lowest cost provider in order to get new flyingor just to keep what they have.
Just something to think about.
