Point is, the TA contains a major Scope concession.

I voted no too...but no need to be a smart as* about it. Unless you want to sign w/real name in which case let it fly..

LOA 12 gave relief to section 1.F.1

LOA 12:

1.For the period beginning on the effective date of this LOA and ending on May 1,2021,the Parties agree to the following:

a. Subject to Paragraph A.2-3herein, the Company may enter into a Commercial Agreement with AAL, pursuant to Section 1.F.1 of the Agreement, not withstanding the requirements of Section 1.F.1.a-b of the Agreement.



CBA:

1.F.1:. The Company may enter into a Commercial Agreement provided: a. The block hours operated by the Company increase during the relevant Comparison Period compared to the relevant Base Period, and b. The number of Active Pilots employed by the Company on the effective date of the Commercial Agreement has increased compared to the number of Active Pilots employed 365 days prior to the effective date.



We have entered this agreement per the relief given to our CBA. LOA 13 changes the requirements to maintain this agreement with concessionary language to CBA section 1.F.2



I still haven’t heard a single valid argument as to why part B of LOA 13 is superior to section 1 of our CBA. On the contrary, the concessions purposed with this LOA will give an opportunity to LIMIT the growth (2024) of both our pilot group and block hours flown that are currently protected under a code share agreement.

I have no problem with getting better compensation in a TA #2. But what I was trying to encourage in others is to not look at this from the perspective of “they aren’t paying me enough to give up scope protections,” but rather “lock up this language in a very limited way that gives us more power and oh, by the way, more money also.” The money doesn’t mean a thing without the words.

Most folks seem to get this, but if you wouldn’t vote for this TA now, but would vote for the exact same TA with 20% profit sharing, you’re looking at the problem wrong.

Thanks Payne for pointing out the mistake.

lol it’s what I’m here for :)

But no I agree with you it’s not worth it if we keep the crappy language.

So there will be LOTS of B6 coded RJs...



E175s are a lot cheaper to operate than E190s and the same is true for E175 pilots. Winning like Charlie Sheen!

It won't be Envoy flying your passengers. It will be Republic. We closed our MIA base and grew the LGA base by 40% in anticipation of flying JetBlue passengers via the AA alliance. Already got our base displacements today set to go for April 1st FYI

Which JB customers will you be flying specifically?

Well, LOA 12 allows JB to put it's code on a Republic RJ from LGA Columbus OH, as I understand it. Only a couple hundred more potential city pairs I can think of.

As a lowly regional pilot it's extremely concerning to me that yet more scope erosion seems to be on the way. For the promise of added shiny jets and 2% pay raise? Do you see how big the regionals are these days? Republic even flies to Central America and the Caribbean out of MIA. We have no business doing that type of flying for AA. I will hate when B6 passengers are connecting on us

Don't take offense. This will be my last interference on this B6 thread. I read the email your company sent you a few days ago promising stellar growth in LGA etc. I haven't read the TA but it sounds from an outsider's perspective like the email the company sent doesn't line up with the language of the TA. Good luck to your pilot group. The whole industry is watching
