Now what if 757s start replacing 88s and 738s from ATL-RIC and ATL-ORF, is that upguaging? Because its obvious, if PHF is in between the two then you know what they're doing is replacing the lost ASA flights to PHF which is in between RIC and ORF.
Not saying PHF is that important, just the example I know best.
FTB,
The whole concept of "Struck Work" between DAL and DCI, is not black and white but very gray in my opinion. During the COMAIR strike the union was monitoring for extra sections and upguaging etc and we as line pilots pretty much just follow DALPA guidance, but some areas are not very clear to me:
What about planned seasonal changes to equipment?
What about planned seasonal changes to frequency?
Im sure the striking airline will not want to allow it but if it was already in the works???
What about a mechanical to a 88 that is substituted with a 737-800 or 757? It was already a scheduled flight and there is no 88 available. Does DAL have to cancel the flight? Only take the number of passengers a 88 could take? Leave behind non-revs if there are still seats left?
My only advice is if this should occur - follow DALPA guidance.
