USA320Pilot Posted on: Apr 3 2004, 08:30 AM While discussing this important point US Airways' PSA division has taken delivery of its first CRJ700, which the company now has a lease expense, but the aircraft cannot be flown and obtain revenue, until the scope issues are resolved. Once we get past the RJ Scope agreement, the next step will be for the company and its unions to negotiate new labor accords, which Dave Siegel said would begin in April.

Hope777 asked: "Hey USA320Pilot, I need a Question Answered. Why is it that a Wholly Owned has taken delivery of a CRJ701 and they can not fly it. ARE WE ALL IN IT FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMPANY or NOT?"
USA320Pilot answers: Because the PSA ALPA MEC wants 50-50 J4J and four members of the US Airways ALPA MEC, the Pittsburgh & Philadelphia Reps, who hold the roll call majority, will not grant scope relief. The current mainline ALPA contract requires the first 25 CRJ-700s be flown by US Airways furloughees.
Until either the US Airways or PSA MEC's change their position, none of the new CRJ-700s will be flown and the jets will only sit on the DAY ramp collecting dust.

Views: 5,837 Since last Thursday ALPA members have been embroiled in debate on whether or not it was appropriate for the RC4 to reject the RJ Scope Relief TA and then direct the Negotiating Committee to re-engage management seeking 13 additional returns.

Views: 2,404 The CRJ-700s will not be flown until US Airways and Mainline ALPA agree on RJ Scope Relief and US Airways, the US Airways pilots, and the PSA pilots agree on J4J.
Once the issue is resolved I expect to see PSA sold, probably to Mesa.
