I’m sorry we don’t need a lecture on scope from the big 3. The only people who have done it right is SWA.
Bottom end scope (RJs) and top end scope (long haul) are both important. We failed the top end for the last 19 years, still don't know if that hole is plugged.

You are correct, SWA the only one who got it right...

United Express has over 570, 50-70 seat jets flying their domestic routes.

Yup i know. Vote no.
Cape Air has 247 pilots not aircraft. 85 C-402’s, 4 BN-2 Islanders, and 2 ATR-42’s. The ATR-42 contract was not renewed by United so I believe they’re gone or will be soon.

This communique is for entertainment purposes only. It does not implicitly or explicitly acknowledge employment with any air carrier nor is any relationship implied. This communique does not represent the opinions or policies of ALPA or JB ALPA and does not represent the collective pilot group, ALPA, nor does it imply collective bargaining, advocacy, or workforce actions intended to disrupt operations.

BJ didn't subcontract a regional. Embraer did and paid for it to be done.
BJ also pay protected it's pilots for that mess.

And if ALPA had been on property, BJ would have needed a side letter or MOU in order to break the scope for a period of time which I'm sure the union would have agreed to in that circumstance.

I wasn't making an argument - I was asking a question because I honestly didn't know the circumstances.


My intent was to make sure the "contract" didn't have a loophole to screw us over with subcontracting, wet leases, or some other creative legal mechanism.


Game on for everything else....

Well, I'll be on the lookout for an 'escape clause' in the legalese that allows the union (not just the MEC chairman) to vote on a course of action with a 95% majority. I was curious about how AA's union settled with AA about their vacation screwup. I don't know who decided on the resolution or even if the union members got to decide with overwhelming vote. Even a favorable to all parties resolution might still be a bad one if it sets an emergency precedent with "good enough reasons".

Agree, it should be a priority, along with every other section where this AIP is lacking.

We definitely need a lecture on negotiating from the big 3. They seem to be able to command industry leading pay with slimmer margins than us.

It would seem the likes of Alaska and Southwest are where the mediator would have kept you, and perhaps release under the auspices of higher demands were unrealistic and your negotiators saw/knew this and accepted that reality rather than push for possibility. Good luck to you guys. Delta had pre 9/11 rates to reference as what is possible, you guys have SWA.

Full disclosure, I don’t know when we are set to open sec 6 negotiations if this passes, and/or the full term of the TA that is to be seen, but I can’t imagine ALPA wouid just go into labor dispute mode right away. And we won’t have the same leverage then as we do now.
Actually, you can begin good faith negotiations anytime before the contract is amendable, but no new agreement would take effect before the amendable date; unless you agree to to it. Clear? Regarding leverage, if the economy is in the dumper, and it's time for a correction, you are correct: we will not have the same leverage as we do now.
