It is time to file for single carrier status. I know everyone thinks that is impossible, but look at what the Teamsters did with FlexJet and Flight Options: https://teamster.org/news/2015/10/na...ptions-flexjet
The reason that the NMB ruled they are a single carrier is because they acted as one system. They made a similar ruling when AA merged with US Air. http://www.twu-iam.org/wp-content/up...No.-15-FUI.pdf
We may be the little guys, but there is no doubt that our operation is inseparable from AA's. We use the same reservation system. We fly aircraft owned by the same parent company. We wear uniforms required by the same parent company. We have a training program that is dictated by the same parent company. We have procedures that comply with the requirements of the same parent company. We even get to progress into jobs at AA (and back if downsizing).
Single Carrier needs to be the next step.
