Therefore, the holding company; RJET, must be the one that determined that Republic (certificate) perform this F9 flying.
That sounds like Single Carrier status at the Holding company level to me.
All I know is that after reading this ruling due diligence in this matter is needed.
Not only that. Even if you use ALPA's flawed "certificate" position then there is another interesting fact.
Chautauqua's certificate says they are doing business as Frontier.
Federal Aviation Administration - Airline Certificate Information - Detail View
That is a "certificate" that we codeshare with doing flying on behalf of a "certificate" that operates "other than permitted aircraft types".
There's a scope violation right there. Even using ALPA's weird definitions.
