Before any drooling over Delta's section 3, lets have a close look at their section 1, and what AS is missing: Scope.
I don't care if they offer the moon as far as pay rates: The economy, the price of oil, etc. can change on a dime. Air Group can do what they please to respond to that. Despite the much-hyped pilot shortage, SkyWest is having no trouble staffing for their new E175s.
No scope = no vote.

This ex YXer echoes the no scope = no vote sentiment.
I can tell you from personal experience, and that WITH some semblance of a scope clause in force, that you do not want to experience a day when a RAH170(pick your CPA carrier) in your paint pulls up to the gates you used to fly out of and picks up the pax you used to fly. On the bright side it does free up time for picketing.
Since I was standing next to him on that day, I am pretty sure the VX MEC Chair understands this problem.

The E175s are a game changer for the Alaska's regional airline operation. They could easily park the -700s/319s and replace those routes with E175s. That would allow more frequency and more ASMs for the Air Group and on paper can be shown as net growth.

Scope, limiting seats to 76 or less, gross takeoff weight and restricting the number of those aircraft is a must. If the company wants more or wants bigger regional jets, they can bring them on property and our guys can fly them...like Delta is doing with the C-series and 717. One of the reasons they outsource small jet flying is so they can mistreat/under pay pilots and put wage pressure on mainline. Unacceptable! We have one of the highest profit margins in the industry...time to treat (pay) pilots flying under the Alaska banner like professionals.

As far as pay goes, nothing less than Delta 737/A320 payrates is acceptable. Like I previously stated, we have one of the highest net profit margins in the industry. If management really did their homework on this acquisition, those numbers should only get better.
