"This sucks, change it" is not a violation of the contract. Give us the language that is being violated.
Howdy Joe,
I don't have the CAL contract, but I'm guessing it would be the same language that prohibited CAL from flying 70 seaters out of IAH, CLE, or EWR with CAL codes on them, which is how these flights are being marketed. The CAL pilots position is that they still operate under their contract, so the UAL scope does not apply to CAL coded flying. I'm sure someone who has the actual contract will chime in here, but that won't help you. The argument is not the language, it's how you INTERPRET the language. Clearly every side will INTERPRET it the way that best suits their goals, so you aren't going to get anywhere there until its ruled upon by some sort of enforcement body.
