The ALPA National lawyers surrendered without a fight when RAH first bought Midwest and Frontier. They said that RAH was not an "air carrier" because they had separate certificates on the property and were just a holding company.
Now that they have combined their seniority lists and the NMB will soon declare them a single airline, I think it is time for ALPA to revisit that issue.

For anyone with an ounce of common sense who can read plain English -- Republic is violating our scope clause.

Lee Moak and the bureaucrats in Herndon will just have to get over it. It is past time that we stood our ground and enforced our contract instead of giving another "concession".
ALPA National's conflict of interest is going to have to yield to the mainline pilots this time instead of the RJ drivers.
I am checking the NMB website every day waiting for that ruling. Now that the arbitrator has handed down a seniority list, the NMB should act real soon.

The Emirates problem may take care of itself. It sounds like things are imploding over there too.

The ruling families over there must be feeling the heat. They are being squeezed from both sides. The Islamists want the monarchies gone and to install a Caliphate. The younger more modernist elements want more personal freedom. The poor want a bigger slice of the oil pie. Those business oriented governments that spawned Emirates and Qatar and Ethiad Air Lines may not survive the turmoil.

I wonder what the Koran says about export credits to buy airplanes?

Quick scheduling question.

I finish 7ER training the 23rd of this month. I convert to 7ER in April. Can they schedule my OE and TOE on awarded X-days in April, or do they have to schedule my OE and TOE around them? Can't find it in the contract.

Thanks.

They question is, can we afford for this to happen? If the House of Saud falls, we may be looking at $250 per bbl of oil.
