second, sure when you buy a ticket on delta to nrt you may at some point fly on a dci carrier or the oversized dci carrier known as alaska, but that's all a part of the scope arrangement. i don't see how this passes the test. The PWA defines an air carrier as: a citizen of the United States undertaking by any means, directly or indirectly, to provide air transportation. I see both the Midwest flying on the E190s and the Frontier flying on E190s and A319s is in violation of 1.D.2. RAH has has the power or right to manage or direct the management of all or substantially all of the other carriers operations, that's control according to section 1. Their pilots are all on 1 list, how that's not operating in essence as a single carrier is beyond me. All of this started when CHQ got caught by APA back in 03 or 04. APA needs to step back in and do something about it, for the sake of Delta pilots. :rolleyes: As I have said, the old language would have taken care of it, but this language talks about operators (certificates) and not holding companies. Legalese if you will, but very important. Like I said, file a personal or group grievance and see if your proof can change the current practice. Many of us looked long and hard at this, and wanted what you all want. Willing something to happen does not do much in the legal world. |

What if Skywest bought Allegiant or started an E190/A320 operation out west. Still not a violation?

So I guess there are two takeaways from this RAH situation:
1) Delta is funding it's competition and growth thereof and is not going to do anything about it which is not only questionable, but scary, and more importantly, 2) ALPA let the language out of the contract that would've held, without a doubt, RAH in contempt of our Section 1. Thus, for all of the money we pay to the wizards of smart at DALPA and Herndon they couldn't see this coming and they're not going to do anything about it now. Shame. Heck of a blueprint for every regional airline that knows fee for departure is ending. Is this not being litigated because ALPA wants RAH? I wouldn't blame them, in time, could be a lot of money. |

You never know with the DOJ, but having someone go after your feed is a good reason to approve something. If they opt not to, it is a great reason for a good fight.

I believe DAL owns 16% of either SA or RAH. Interesting, isn't it?

RJET has been operating that way for many years with no issue (grievance filed) from any DAL line pilots. Republic has been operating the E-190 for many moons without a peep. It is in the way the corporation is structured. After all it was structured this way to get around ours, UAUA's and LCC"s scope sections.
The is a such thing as negotiating and contracting in good faith. If any party to a contract purposely acts in a way that is counter to the understanding of the agreement, I would argue that that party is in breach. Period. |
