Trans States Closing its doors

Now you may say they are 121 and not 135, but the union could probably argue that 121 is included and EV and C5 flight attendants
now make UA money.

I will argue that. I see your point and acknowledge that such an interpretation could be made. However contracts should be interpreted as written and both sides could gain or lose based on the wording.

Here, it states that they may not have a controlling ownership stake in a Commuter Airline (Primary Part 135). If you want to dive into the minute on the wording, EV and C5 are Part 121 “Regional Airlines” the contract explicitly states Commuter Airline (Primary Part 135) which the FAA has a published list found below, and specifically outlines what marketing names have airlines associated with them https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2020-02/Commuter List 2020_0.pdf

C5 does appear in this list in an odd way, but they’re still 121.

No doubt that if it was attempted a grievance would be filed and probably go to arbitration, but my uneducated opinion is that they would rule for the company based strictly on what the contract says, not what it “meant.” However, I do agree that it’s way too expensive of a risk for the company to have the arbitrator rule against.
 
Got to run the operations somehow with everyone trying to jumping ship as quick as possible. In other news Compass is also hiring...

Unfortunately, I also believe the end is nigh for Compass and GoJet as well. The loss of DAL flying would have been enough but with the state of the industry I fear we'll be seeing more memo's like this before long. Godspeed to those affected

You've got to give TSA a lot of credit, they gave everybody a 10 month noticed the end was near. They couldn't have predicted this happening, they tried to do right by their employees and I respect that.

They only did that because ExpressJet announced they were getting our ERJs and a Denver base. Look at how long Trans States Holdings led on Compass employees with false hopes. If it wasn't for the ExpressJet announcement TSA probably wouldn't know anything.
