Maybe Eagle is just giving you a taste of the future. Just like breaking in a virgin, you don't want to shove it all in at once.

Republic is growing out of its regional roots while Eagle remains a feeder airline. Soon Republic may be codesharing with American on many domestic routes supplying both midsize airliners and their own feed.

Republic bought several airlines. If the price is right, they could easily buy Eagle too. Isn't it still up for sale?

Since the two airlines have different unions and since the Eagle pilots have shown so much pettiness about Chicago in their treatment of Chautauqua pilots, any merger will be by staple. Since the Eagle pilots have shown their true colors in how they treated the Chautauqua pilots and their own senior pilots, it would serve them right too.

I don't want to see that happen. I'd rather see mainline AA flying their own routes instead of outsourcing them via codeshare to RAH. Code sharing is management's next major push to get around scope.

Wheeler, you must be as your avitar shows! Just a monkey in a suit! Most of us Eagle pilots understand that the Chautauqua pilots themselves are not to blame and as for the senior pilots, they wanted to flow when things were going good, so why shouldn't they have to go now when things aren't so good! They are gonna get what they wanted, only a couple years later than when it should have happened! What about the 2000 plus junior guys that have suffered pay, upgrade, and qol becuase they(the flowthroughs) didn't go in 2007?

You just proved you are no better than he is. The industry has been taken over by the Me Generation.

Actually, this is true. Several years ago Eagle ALPA grieved the contracting of both TSA and CHQ as AA feeders since it violated our scope clause. The ruling was no violation took place since ALPA's scope clause was between the Eagle pilots and American Eagle Airlines whereas the TSA and CHQ contracts were between them and AA.

hate to disagree because I likely will not get the last word - but arb ruled that this was EXISTING flying and therefore not a violation of scope. He did say ANY new flying belonged to ae. therefore, a new grievance was filed as it does fit this category of new flying.

Actually, mainline recapturing small jet flying from a regional without mainline pay would be considered good news, in my opinion.
