But the JS war isn’t about OO vs UAL dick measuring (at least both ways). It’s about one taking advantage of the system and the other evening the playing field. The fact that so many on the message boards don’t get that, blows my mind.

Negative. The whole reason Republic had to go with the multiple certificate kabuki dance was because the APA fined Chautauqua something like 6 million dollars for having 170s on their certificate until Republic could aquire Shuttle and park the Saabs and put 170s there. Old US Airways scope didn't apply to anything flown outside of Airways which was why the 190s were put on the old Republic Certificate.
If a regional airline wanted to they can take it to court and they would win.

I'm interested in the case law to show this. Noncompete clauses are common in contracts and that's all this amounts to.

Fast forward to aa bankruptcy, apa gave up that restriction, a regional max of 76 seats was removed and can fly a 747 if they wish on same certificate.

First, in the 80's apa sued in federal court over aa violation on scope, result ruling was scope is only good in the confines of the u.s. and applies to only u.s. carriers.
