You can probably own equity (ie stock) in a competing airline without any trouble. But actually being involved in operating said airline, and integrating it with a codeshare regional probably violates any regional feed contract.

Probably true. But he may be taking a chance that his contract is vague enough that he can win in court. Or he may be assuming that UAL will liquidate soon and there's nothing to lose.

Highly unlikely...to the point of being ludicrous. UAL managers cannot see past the end of their own noses, much less hatch some devious scheme to crush SWA. Not to mention there are probably all kinds of anti-trust issues with multiple airlines conniving to run a competitor out of certain markets.

Might UAL look the other way the situation works in their favor? Sure.

Rick if you can point me in a better direction I'll thank you for it but as far as I can tell "fair and equitable" isn't anything defined about how list must be merged but instead a promise that due process will be afforded to everyone. One union can submit to another their proposal and the other can deny or accept then counter and eventually go to arbitration. I've understood it to afford each group the same liberties and process that must be followed allowing each to object or agree at key points. Kind of like how each criminal is guaranteed a certain due process. He might be on video committing murder but he's still entitled to the full legal system.

I guess the assumption is that RAH employees cannot provide the customer with good customer service simply because they arent Midwest employees. Yeah, for that matter I suppose no regional airline employee can provide decent customer service. And all the Midwest station employees...well they dont count either I spose...Not sure exactly how the product changes if it doesnt exist. You know like the "product" that was the thriving MKE route structure prior to RAH's takeover. OH WAIT a second, it wasnt much of a product after all. Thats not the point. The point is RAH came to MKE and dismantled a once great airline. They single handidly tore apart Midwest and left the carcass to rot in the heat. And how did they do that? Well when Republic had the chance to sell Midwest to Airtran they fought the hostile takeover. And then Republic sold Midwest to Northwest and TPG in hopes of straightening out the finances. And then Republic went ahead shut down Skyway as an air carrier and hired skywest on. And then Republic outsourced most of the outstations to American Eagle. And then Republic sold all of the MD 80s. And then Republic went and sold the 717s. If I missed anything else Republic did, please feel free to add.

IMHO...a truly great post. I'm sure you'll get no rebuttal as most of the trolls have their head in the sand. The jealousy that rings out in these threads is glaring. **Shrugs shoulders**

They sold themselves to Northwest Orient in 1986 :D

Wouldn't work for Republic if you don't have too. This pilot group is becoming the the "virtual scabs" for our profession. Add to that the pilot group that turned down Southwest jobs and pay guarantees.

You will get no respect.




ps. To answer the next Frontier pilot posting. I hope you are kept separate from Republic... don't count on it.

The fact that you can use the "s" word so easily says a lot about yourself. How pathetic.

From who? Everyone respects Frontier. Nice place, happy employees, even happier customers. Hopefully that tradition will continue. Why would you call them scabs? Simply because a holdings company purchased them? What has changed with them since the purchase? You think it was the pilot group that made the decision about who purchased them?

I get it. Republic can do no wrong.

I think you need to stop drinking that kool-aid BB is giving you in the morning.

Its funny how people use the "s" word so casually, yet they're only showing their ignorance on the subject. Walk the picket lines first, than we can debate about it.:rolleyes:
