Republic is flying in violation of the Delta PWA right now.
They aren't supposed to be flying any airplanes over 76 seats whether those flights carry the Delta code or not.
Lee Moak (and the ALPA National lawyers) have refused to file a grievance on that issue. They say its not prohibited flying because Republic is not an "air carrier". It is a "holding company" and the divisions have separate operating certificates.
I say bull****.
The letter, spirit and intent of the Delta scope clause is being violated but the boys in Herndon do not want to go there.
