US Airways scope violation Grievance
Have any of the Express guys heard or have there companies commented on the grievance being put up by mainline pilots? The arbitrator was suppose to go over it on the Dec 8th but the company witness got sick
. Anyway they want to ground 17 big rj's but haven't said who's.

To recap prior updates, the TA Dispute #8 was filed because the Company is currently in violation of the total number of “Large Small Jets” they are permitted to operate under the terms and conditions of the Transition Agreement. The Agreement authorizes the Company to operate a maximum combined total (East and West) of 93 Large SJ’s; they are currently operating 110 Large SJ’s. The remedies sought in arbitration include:
Requiring the Company to immediately cease and desist from operating more than 93 Large SJ’s as defined in Section VIII of the Transition Agreement,

Wouldn't be the first time he backed on his word. You may be right though since it wouldn't make sense. But the contract carriers need the contractual minimum flying so where would the frames come from? Certainly not RAH's 170 fleet. Especially after "injecting" (read bribing) money into Airways.

Because:
1. Airways isn't paying leases on them. If they park PSA -700's they're bleeding cash due to having to pay leases and not making revenue.
2. MAG hasn't infused Airways with cash like Republic has, which was smart of BB to pretty much keep them safe in a situation like this.
3. MAG is on the way out at Airways anyways.
4. You must work for MAG. I was management at MAG and MAG is by no means efficient! But you are correct about them being cheap!
