That's what we'd all like to know...

They have apparently received FAA authorization to operate the type, and are spooling up a training program....this has gone beyond hypothetical.

XJT? Or something else?

Again, what could XJT ALPA do about XJT losing flying to non-union carriers?

ALPA may not make business decisions but they have a responsibility for job protection and that is something they are failing at miserably. Come to think of it I would consider scope language as kind of a decision making for management. otherwise I bet management would be looking for someone to fly boeings and airbus' cheaper.

What exactly are you talking about? What leverage was signed away? XJT's scope language has nothing to do with who Continental decides does their flying. XJT's scope language can only speak to the flying done with XJT aircraft regardless if they are flown for CAL, DAL, UAL, etc.

I wouldn't worry about it because it's gone. just ask yourself what delta management learned from the comair strike and what they did after it was over to prevent it from happening again.
