Ex Independence Air pilots
Does anyone who used to fly for IA. have a contract that is in pdf. form? With the sale of the certificate to NWA, I was wondering if there was any scope tied in to the contract. Let me know if you have any info. Thanks in advance.

All of this is assuming that the other carrier was also an ALPA carrier. How well it would hold up if a non ALPA carrier was the other party, well, look at TWA/American to get a worst case example.
Since the airline is gone, the airplanes have been handed over to the lessors, ect, I would doubt that we (the pilots) from IA are entitled to anything. Sadly. Looking at the TA, I don't know if I would want to be.

You are right about the TA. It is a said situation at NWA. I can honestly say I will never return. Thanks for the info. You would think our MEC would be on top of that stuff.....,but they had no clue. Take care!

There is some legal grey area on this issue since the company is not being liquidated in CH7 proceedings. Lemme dig up my contract... I'll post the scope/merger clauses here in a bit.

I don't think it will matter at all. Every pilot that was on the seniority list was terminated. Furlough letters came out then termination letters. So there a not really any pilots tied to this ticket. Just my 2 cents. Just keep Skeen and Moore away from the danged thing.
