They aren't supposed to be flying any airplanes over 76 seats whether those flights carry the Delta code or not. Lee Moak (and the ALPA National lawyers) have refused to file a grievance on that issue. They say its not prohibited flying because Republic is not an "air carrier". It is a "holding company" and the divisions have separate operating certificates. I say bull****. The letter, spirit and intent of the Delta scope clause is being violated but the boys in Herndon do not want to go there. |

Yeah, I guess the guy that wrote the language that said you're wrong in your interpretation should just be discounted, as he would have to testify to that in a grievance....:rolleyes:
I sure would like to see that definition of "air carrier" tested though. Republic is one. |

There is NOTHING to lose since its being done anyway, and I don't understand why DL management wants to fund a competitor when they aren't even that valueable of a provider anyway (that flying could go anywhere just as cheaply).
