Its blatantly obvious that Republic has been thumbing their nose at our scope clause with their holding company / separate certificates charade. Now that even the NMB is set to declare RAH a "single carrier", maybe the administration has decided to enforce Section 1.D.

That language in our contract is very important. The clear intent is to prevent any code-sharing which directly subsidizes competition on larger jets. RAH is a textbook case of this. They're using the guaranteed profits they make from the fee for departure arrangements with Delta to purchase and operate Airbus and Embraer 190 jets that directly compete with Delta jets of the same gauge. That is the exact conduct prohibited under Section 1.D.2.c .

That and the fact that they are the nation's carrier... I would bet there is gubbamint money that helps prop them up now and then too....

How is RAH different than the codeshare we had with AMR Eagle?

Guys talking in the crewroom yesterday about us buying JetBlue. More 320s and the E190 would be a great replacement to the DC9.

The Obama Justice Dept. and the NY Congressional delegation would never allow it.
