Even if we take Republic to court and the planes go elsewhere to still be flown under Delta colors, I would consider it a win. We need to show Richard Anderson and other Delta management that we are serious about our scope section. Skywest is next in line to do the exact same thing Republic is doing.
Delta needs to pull away from this kind of business. Why should Delta subsidize RAH, while RAH is directly competing with Delta?
I checked this morning, Frontier Flights on Airbus go Den-Atl, Den-Msp, Den-Lga, Den-Dtw, Den-Lax, Den-Sea etc.. Mke has a lot of Frontier Flights that compete with our bases too.
If competition is the name of the game, then lets keep this pure and have each company compete without subsidy.

If ALPA just leaves you guys out to dry on this, maybe that will be the end of ALPA at Delta and maybe finally get something things changed in that union, if not the end of it. I'm sure if they don't do anything to protect your scope, the pitch forks and torches will come out.

Ya know I was thinking about this. I just read the entire NMB ruling and something popped in to my head.
The "Republic" Certificate is doing Frontier Coded flying. Now to the best of my knowledge there is not CPA(Capacity Purchase Agreement) between Republic and F9 for these 190's to be doing this flying. Therefore, the holding company; RJET, must be the one that determined that Republic (certificate) perform this F9 flying.
That sounds like Single Carrier status at the Holding company level to me.
All I know is that after reading this ruling due diligence in this matter is needed.

I would not say that. I have been on the phone a bunch the last few days, and many are interested in the implications of the NMB ruling.
I was thinking the other day (I know, scary...) but it's possible that the company might "appreciate" DALPA bringing up a scope issue. It might be the sword that the company needs to address Frontier using larger airplanes on routes that compete with Delta.

I don't think the quarterly bonus mongers care about that. They just signed on for more large RJ's with the Bedford Air Group. Why would they so recently do that if they had any intention of ever willingly pulling the plug? Delta clearly has no problem subsidizing a yield and fare trashing competitor because those in charge of making that decision don't care to look far enough down the road to begin with.

Chautauqua's certificate says they are doing business as Frontier.
Federal Aviation Administration - Airline Certificate Information - Detail View
That is a "certificate" that we codeshare with doing flying on behalf of a "certificate" that operates "other than permitted aircraft types".
There's a scope violation right there. Even using ALPA's weird definitions.
