It's not your flying. It never was. It's United flying. Those airplanes were being parked and your company turned down a proposal to fly them. That's not scabs. That's being too expensive. Calling TSA pilots scabs is absolutely moronic and if you believe they are, you should do your pilot group a favor and stop Union volunteering. You're making them all look at stupid as you sound. Just remember, your existence in an RJ is solely because you offered to fly cheaper than a legacy pilot. Pot meet kettle

Base closing
With only 40 aircraft there is no protection in this TA for say every pilot to be JFK based or DFW. Something to think about. If you live in ORD then they close it as a base because republic is doing all the e175 flying there and Trans states is covering the remaing???? I'd want to know where they plan on basing these. I know it can change
But let's protect ourselves from more Base closings

You're forgetting a very important part of this equation: scope. Mainline carriers have scope language that prevents the airline from transferring their airplanes to other carriers. Regional carriers don't have this language; never have. In many cases this is due to having no leverage to get it, since the parent or code share airline owns the airplanes the regional flies.
During the last round of contract negotiations, Compass tried to secure language that tied us to our (at the time) 42 airplanes. This was a non-starter because Delta owns the airplanes and they don't want to be limited in their ability to make moves like AA is currently doing.
A likely response would be, "tell them we won't sign a deal without this scope language." Unfortunately, the mainline carrier will then pack up and take its airplanes elsewhere.

My slam at TSA is at the new hire guys leaving one ALPA carrier to chase the same freaking job (soon same airplanes) at another. Call them scums if you care, whatever. How does that make you a good ALPA pilot? How does chasing promise of quick PIC help the position of fellow pilots you choose to abandon at your current airline? How is that not scabbing, if you are weakening fellow pilots to advance yourself? New list of names should be taken.

That's my whole point. No FFD owns ANY work. That's the failure of ALPA!
