In this case, judgment and teamwork are put into question which both are well within the confines of the law.
Have there been contract workers from both Freedom A and gojets that have gotten through the cracks? Sure. Would you want to gamble your career by being on a list? Probably not. That being said, the way some folks are talking here, it would appear that they are more than happy to spend the rest of their careers flying a 70+ seat aircraft for 50 seat pay and not protections at a regional.
What does that mean? You are obviously completely out of touch if you think the SKW pilot group is happy about this IAH flying. This is going to hurt the junior guys at SKW because they will be forced into IAH when they don't want to be there or have any part of it.
I'd be willing to bet that if it were ASA, XJT, insert any ALPA carrier here, you wouldn't be saying the same thing. In fact, I bet you would be trying to find a way to support the IAH flying.
