a. Does not operate such Complementary Carrier Flying to or from a
Company Hub; (CLE, EWR, IAH and GUM as defined in our CBA)
Of course 4A. doesn't refer to either Skywest or Republic as they both operate aircraft that are certificated to MORE than 80 seats. If Skywest and Republic aren't "4A" carriers, then what do they fall under? Again, this is United Express flying, and neither carrier falls under 4A.
In addition, when the XJET transaction goes thru, XJET will no longer fall under 4A as Atlantic Southeast operates aircraft certificated for more than 80 seats.
What other "carriers" are there besides "Complementary Carriers"? What does United fall under in the CAL scope section as you are putting the CAL code on their airplanes?
It also appears that the Mesa 90 seat flying operates outside of this section too.
