Skillfully outmaneuvered and too much goodwill. That’s how we find ourselves in the position we are now. Hopefully the lesson has been learned.

The point is if not for LOA 12, the NEA could not even have been contemplated in the company’s current circumstances.
The pilot group voted in a CBA that "gave away scope" if we were growing.

LOA 12 simply provided relief for a AA code share. When we start to grow then the company can code share and all we will get is a chance to read the press release. Why? ... you gave it (scope) away!

The value, to the company, of a codeshare decreases the more the company is growing on its own. Inversely, that value increases as the company shrinks or contracts. That is the reason 1.F is written that way. LOA 12 stripped that protection away and gave them an incentive to create a big codeshare exactly when it offered a big value to the airline and the smallest value/greatest harm to the pilots.

The CBA didn’t give codesharing away, it only allowed it when it was the least efficient way to generate revenue.

It’s a yield proposition.

.15 cents on the dollar isn’t very much when you can make $15 on your own. 15 cents when you’re only making $1 is huge.

Would the company need an LOA? No they would not have since the pilot group already 'gave scope away'!

15% operating margin is yuge cash, BTW!

But in this case they did need an LOA 12, correct?! That is the point in the here and now and of this discussion.

and it did not change “may not” to “may”.

The CBA says the company “may”.

it also say “if” the company enters a joint venture not that the company “may not”.

this pilot group approved the scope give away.

Geeeze.... still *****ing about the CBA? I personally voted No on that because of a multitude of different reason... But it was voted on and approved by the majority of the pilots.... the CBA is done... and yes in good times with growing block hours it permits a new codeshare... right now the CBA does not allow it without LOA 12 (which is why the company came to the union for relief, which in itself is a tacit acknowledgement). LOA would be all fine if the pilots made that decision via membership ratification and therefore were responsible for the consequences of such..... as it stands the MEC took that burden which results in this discussion.

The MEC waived triggers for the AA deal only for something the pilot group allowed AND WHAT IS STILL IN THE CBA: domestic code sharing on other than 50 seat turbo props! "Scope is the reason I voted for the CBA". To funny this group!
