2017-February 2018). The Company will not participate in revenue sharing or joint
ventures agreements with other carriers in which Spirit pilots do not perform a portion of
the flying to the extent the flying subject to the revenue sharing or joint venture is
permitted to be flown by, and is accessible to, the Company.


We may not "limit" their codesharing, but with this language it makes it difficult for the company and at least keeps our jobs intact. There is no ALPA pilot contract that "limits" the number of code sharing agreements to my knowledge. Even Southwest is currently shopping potential codeshare partners. I know you hate it but the scope language in this TA is pretty darn industry standard.

It’s not! Have you read the other contracts? When they add codeshare they have to add company pilots/planes/block hours as well. In some cases it’s on the exact same city pair and in some cases it has to be block hours on the same type of aircraft as the partner company is using in the agreement. The ratios and language varies but there is always restrictions. Dosmestic codesharing is also heavily restricted if not prohibited. They cannot grow limitlessly with nonseniority pilots. Let’s also remember that those codeshares also contribute to profits and those pilots share in those profits.

Time to start reading current contracts in regards to Scope.

I see your point about "oh they can just codeshare out all the flying!" but do you even know what a codeshare is? Do you also know that this falls under the "alter ego" clause?

Hmm well for starters United and Alaska have no "alter ego, or change in control" in their current contracts. JB has no subcontracting, alter-ego, codesharing, or regional protections AT ALL. Thos as well go for Alaska which also do not have Fragmentation/Transfer of Assets protections.

So maybe sir you should do some reading on current contracts in regards to scope.

Alaska has no scope and if their contract wasn’t arbitrated they would have voted it down for that exact reason.

Jetblue has no scope because they don’t have a contract and all of the widebody flying the company sells tickets on is codeshare. All of it.

United has 13,000 pilots. Do you think they are going to start an alter-ego. They have very specific codesharing restrictions. The company is also trying to negotiate loosened scope as we speak. The contract is very specific and the only way they can grow now is with united pilots. Also I believe the FA contract requires merger in aquisition but I’d have to get that verified.

And btw I’m pretty sure 1.E., 1.E.1, and 1.E.2 of the United CBA would cover your change of control scenario for united. You did read it right? Since you seem to know what language is in there.

Further, 1.C.2, 1.C.3, and 1.C.4 in the united contract deals with codesharing not even including united express and it covers 7 pages. We have a paragraph
