Don't recall any restrictions on how those crews are used.
It is my understanding that if a CAL 737 domicile were to open - the only place you could fly from there would be other CAL hubs (or places that CAL currently flies to from LAX).
So a CAL 737 crew/aircraft that is domiciled in LAX could not fly to GDL for example. But a crew/aircraft base in (say) CLE could?
On a second reading of the TA, I just don't see how CAL can fly to GDL with 737's out of LAX by May unless there is a JCBA.
Your thoughts?
From the TA:
4-D. Domiciles.
Neither Continental nor United will create or operate a new
domicile, or add a new equipment type to an existing domicile, within one
hundred fifty (150) miles of the other’s existing domicile, except that Continental
may operate its B-787 aircraft using the EWR Base and/or may create an LAX B-
737 Base for non-stop flying between LAX or its Co-terminal airports (i.e. ONT,
BUR and SNA) and Hawaii or Continental hubs.
Such LAX B-737 Base will not
serve city pairs from LAX or its Co-terminal airports that do not have Continental
service from those airports on the date of this Transition and Process Agreement.
There shall be no reduction in the number of Pilots assigned to the United LAX
