Excerpt for the CAL ALPA LEC 171 IAH 11/07
Reading the bottom paragraph pretty much alludes to what CAL ALPA is "thinking" about doing with their options that are on the table regarding the 70 Seater's coming to IAH.....You be the judge for yourself.

"The fact that our management is trying to circumvent our Section One: SCOPE by planning to put the CAL code on SKYWEST 70 seat RJ flights in our hubs and a crew base in our hub early next year is unconscionable. (Similar is happening in EWR with shuttle America.) I know you have read that our union is working this problem at an MEC level, and I fully support their efforts. Last week your union asked management to explain how these flights can be operated in compliance with our CBA. I have been told that their response has been as underwhelming as their opening contract proposal. Our Master Chairman spent the week with the Chairman of the Alliance Oversight Committee, Alfredo Suarez, and our legal advisors. They received management’s explanation as to why they believe this flying can be accomplished in compliance with our Scope provisions early last week and are working on a response. They hope to finish it today and report to you all the essence of the content and how it is received at some point in the near future. We can only hope management sees it our way or, as Chairman Pierce has said, we will use every legal means available to stop these egregious actions.

The SPSC has been directed to formulate a response intended to show management, the media and the traveling public our outrage at management’s actions and our displeasure with management’s outdated philosophy concerning outsourcing. Your MEC will review the details of these plans as part of a Special MEC meeting scheduled for next week. With regards to the pilots of SKYWEST and the rumor of jump seat issues, all I can say is that we are not at that point—YET. Keep in mind, however, SKYWEST has voted down ALPA representation on several occasions. I’m hoping they are starting to realize the detriment to their careers should they choose to fly stolen work. Captain Pierce has requested Captain Prater’s approval to reach out to the SKYWEST Pilots’ Association leadership so that they are fully aware of our position regarding this flying. "
