Inclusive scope would do away with the lines by simply stating "all Delta flying will be performed by Delta pilots." A compromise would be the joint venture language we have which covers the desirable flying. The most ineffective language is the exclusionary language which permits outsourcing of our undesirable flying.

I own one of those, and am able to quote you before you wrote that.
