The key is getting scope under the Holding company and the companies controlled by or partially owned by, not just the individual airlines. Maybe something similar to Republic's contract.
Otherwise, they only have to start up a new spin off airline every time they want to circumvent a CBA. As proven by AAWW a few times over.
As to AABO/AACS, they could use them to start another crew leasing company outside of Atlas Air Inc. and STN. They just could not do it with the Atlas Airlines, Inc. They could start using them for another airline such as GSS via some base in Ireland. Crew leasing by AABO to GSS and A/C moved over and it's done.
