Its blatantly obvious that Republic has been thumbing their nose at our scope clause with their holding company / separate certificates charade. Now that even the NMB is set to declare RAH a "single carrier", maybe the administration has decided to enforce Section 1.D.
That language in our contract is very important. The clear intent is to prevent any code-sharing which directly subsidizes competition on larger jets. RAH is a textbook case of this. They're using the guaranteed profits they make from the fee for departure arrangements with Delta to purchase and operate Airbus and Embraer 190 jets that directly compete with Delta jets of the same gauge. That is the exact conduct prohibited under Section 1.D.2.c .

Seems maybe the rabble rousing here on "Latest and Greatest" has finally prompted the MEC into taking a look at whether RAH is an "air carrier".

Top end limited. Retirements will come off the top, and that is where the training is the most limited.
Also, the new training cycles eat up a ton of training time.
Block hr limited. We can only deal with a certain percentage of pilots in training at a particular time for schedule integrity.
Point, is we are a lot leaner than we once were.

We also had 5 of our 305 new hires resign to go to SWA/FEDEX. Not many but I felt like it got some attention. Comment was "doesn't usually happen at Delta" Of course this brought out a chant of "pay raise"

The Mega Millions is now $304.
Maybe we should organize an APC ticket buying pool.
Split the winnings when we hit.
Or buy an airline. Or some Goddesses.

I bet those who went to SWA are very "excited" about the new merger with the Tranny!
