I'm 100% sure that SKYW had plan B in place before they even launched plan A which was to buy XJT and get rid of the scope. They are creating leverage for themselves by saying they need the scope gone. They have now met with ALPA and probably have a good idea on what it will really take to operate XJT the way they want to. They will buy XJT with or without the scope language amended. They can still attempt to change the CBA after the purchase and I'm sure that will be the plan. The CBA does not prohibit them from moving all the Delta flying over to the SKYW certificate. What do you do when they say they will move all the Delta flying to SKYW and furlough 700 if you don't relax the CBA, or if you do relax the CBA XJT will get all the future LAX flying including 70 seaters and there will be very few if any furloughs? They are creating leverage and will buy XJT within a month.
