That was written in response to your saying how it should be allowed.
A handful of the Lynx folks who are trained and experienced flying the Q in the mountains get to keep their jobs another six months and you guys immediately call it a contract violation.
Unless I read this statement wrong. My point was I understand how you want Lynx guys to fly those airplanes regardless of certificate but if BB is given the leeway to do it now there's no telling how he could exploit it down the road. Look at how long this 99 seat issue is taking and that's on a plane where you can walk down the isle and count 100 seats. Can you imagine the battle over letting people not on the RAH seniority list fly aircraft on the cert. and doing so without established pay scales? Hopefully a good stance can be taken now and not after it's already happening.
If they really wanted these aircraft JUST for this then why not leave them on their own certificate, where you guys could fly them, instead of going through all the pains associated with moving them from another certificate especially if it's only supposed to be for a short time?
