I don't see the pilots ever agreeing to this through collective bargaining;it is time for the judge to strip that union of its power and let AC get on with its reorganization.The pilots have long held sway over the compnay and are way too militant and too overpaid for what they do.
The judge will do all stakeholders a favour if he puts them out of business.

Is anyone surprised that it's ACPA that threatens the whole deal? They're notorious for putting their interests before the company and the rest of the employees. As I said before, it would be poetic justice to see CALPA win one over ACPA.
CUPE obviously faced the same issues if flights are transferred to Jazz, but were able to see the writing on the wall.
Scope clauses are archaic, and the judge shouldn't think twice before tossing it out. Let's hope he has the guts.
How come nobody is questioning one thing in this scenario: where is Zip?
