Alaska's guys say yes. I'm thinking no, unless SkyWest jumped the hoop of getting a distinct Certificate to run it on. Of course, Republic runs "marketing" Certificates (FAA's term) like they print them out of a photocopier.
Apparently, Skywest is in the process of hiring 600-800 pilots. FWIW.

Their "investigators" will find Jimmy Hoffa before they find any scope violation.

You guys still don't get it. What is ALPA's INTENT ?

They want Republic out there to drive down wages in the belief that cheaper outsourced flying means more money for the favored pilots on our list. Not only is there not a scope violation, we engineered it this way.

Yikes. I hope you're not right.

You know better than that. Our Section 1 was never engineered this way. Never. The only thing being engineered now is the interpretation of Section 1. ALPA does not want to do anything to hurt the regionals in any way. Thus they have to find loopholes in contract language that THEY wrote.

Believe me, back when the language of scope was written (by the best legal minds money can buy), the intent was rock solid language that protected jobs.

Interesting Council 20 update.

Several resolutions passed.

1) Re-negotiate premium pay
2) Fix the 07/08 NWA retirement fail
3) Elect a 4th merger committee member (heavily modded from the original)
4) Post FPL Data
5) Re-examine ALPA volunteer compensation
6) Fix the DH/30 minute check-in thing
7) Fix the slow webboard software

There was a LEC resolution that deals with some laundry, which I won't post here.
