Status Summary
- No new public Blue Sky implementation milestone was identified this week.
- The February 10 rollout of cross-airline booking for eligible itineraries remained the latest major public Blue Sky milestone.
- No public signal this week suggested movement toward combined operations, a single operating certificate path, or labor integration.
Integration Dashboard
- Operational integration: Operational integration remained GREEN. Separate carriers and crew operations remained in place, and no single operating certificate, combined-operations, joint bidding, staffing, base consolidation, or training harmonization path was publicly disclosed.
- Systems & customer-facing integration: Systems & customer-facing integration remained GREEN. Cross-airline booking for eligible itineraries remained live across both carriers’ websites and mobile apps, while mixed-carrier single itineraries and reciprocal perks remained future phases rather than current operating changes.
- Labor / contract integration: Labor / contract integration remained GREEN. No JCBA, representation-consolidation, or joint staffing, bidding, or training step was publicly disclosed.
- Regulatory / external constraints: Regulatory / external constraints remained unchanged. The public Blue Sky roadmap still pointed to later-spring reciprocal perks and additional later-phase commercial rollout items, but no new milestone or structural change was publicly announced this week.
CrewSignal Watch Points
- Timing and operating detail for reciprocal perks, especially boarding order, preferred or extra-legroom seating, and same-day change or standby boundaries.
- Any movement from currently eligible itineraries toward a single itinerary that combines flights operated by both carriers.
- Any clearer post-launch servicing, reaccommodation, or IRROPS guidance as cross-airline booking matures.
