Aloha Airlines pilots file legal challenge against carrier

Pilots at Aloha Airlines have filed a legal challenge seeking reversal of management actions that allegedly violate job-protection terms of their contract.

The pilots - represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) - contend that, by allocating flying under the Aloha code to former subsidiary Aloha Island Air, Aloha management breached contractual "scope" provisions that restrict the outsourcing of jobs and require ALPA approval of new code-share agreements.

The action is seeking for either the restoration of Aloha flight assignments that otherwise would now be transferred to the Island Air operation or an agreement between management and ALPA on an alternative.
