Alaksa hasn’t exercised those Options...All of OO’s aircraft are purchased buy them. There are a few aircraft in question that were assembled in a configuration for another airline but then bought by OO. This is were the Alaska 50 shades of gray come in.. im sure they will release the paperwork but what will they be able to do about it is the real question...

The problem is that the contract does not specify “owned or controlled by AAG”. It simply says placed into revenue service, doesn’t matter by who. That’s probably going to be the next court battle.

This is where the lawyers get tricky. Alaska/Horizon never owned these planes. They may have ordered them, but they never took delivery of them.

Exactly. They dont need permision from either of the unions on who gets hired at Alaska mainline. There would be an LOA added to the QX contract, just so there was a process on how and when someone could "flow" up to AS. Nothing would need to be done on the AS contract for this to happen.

AS management wouldn’t need permission from the AS pilot’s union as long as the flow program did not negatively affect any AS pilot, but they would surely need an agreement from the QX union if they wanted some form of cherry picking ability of QX Pilots for their flow program. That is what will prevent any future flow program from hurting any QX pilot. I’m using common sense in my rational here, but I’m pretty sure that is how both unions will see it.
