The company has asked for turboprop relief, but the response was absurd.It's what the carriers wanted. Someone asked about PDT not being able to fly the QRH400's or ATR72's - the company didn't want turboprop relief and were only interested in more and bigger RJs.
A valid concern indeed. FWIW, I spoke with a woman who is an organizer for the CWA camaign at PDT; she assured me that the union would not let that happen.My fear is Piedmont express voting in CWA and CWA and the company going down the path of ALPA AFA IAM allowing CWA to stay on the properly wile maintaining dues and expressing small and medium stations to express pay and work rules
CWA is unique NOW by representing the mainline agent group………..
I should have been clearer - I meant old US wasn't interested in turboprop relief. It's not surprising that they're interested in bigger turboprops now that they have authority for an almost unlimited number of RJ's - 400+ in the East contract and less in the West contract (100+ I think but it's been a while since I looked at it), and I imagine that they would like to keep the total number from the East contract.The company has asked for turboprop relief, but the response was absurd.

So the pilots unions of the world allow 500+ aircraft to be outsourced at HP/USIt's not surprising that they're interested in bigger turboprops now that they have authority for an almost unlimited number of RJ's - 400+ in the East contract and less in the West contract (100+ I think but it's been a while since I looked at it), and I imagine that they would like to keep the total number from the East contract.

The combine contract and pilot unions of the airlines of the world have allow the deterioration of scope mainline flying languageNo, each contract specifies a different maximum number. They're not additive except for the large RJ's - the TA recognized the total that were being operated by both sides combined - but I'd be surprised if the company doesn't want the greater max number from the East contract. Plus, the contracts were negotiated and ratified by the pilots from the two sides - nobody held a gun to their heads and made them vote for ratification.

AMEN. this should be the bottom line on this topic!I should have been clearer - I meant old US wasn't interested in turboprop relief.
