The other union contracts may or may not prohibit interline agreements. However, they will not standby and have over half of their jobs outsourced to other carriers. International codeshares are one thing, turning over all domestic (which is essentially what giving up unlimited 70+ seaters will do) won't happen. The mainline employees are done giving. The pilots will lead the way and the rest will join. They don't have a choice. It is either take a stand or the unemployment line. If this is truly AMRs plan then they will go into the history books of another failed airline.

Still doesn't change the fact that AMR has found a way around scope...
the other union contracts do not prohibit interline agreements either, so the theory that the mechanics or some other union besides the pilot union will stop it is a false one.
