THIS IS A SCOPE FAILURE AND OFFENDS ME JUST AS MUCH AS RAH.
IMO, our scope is being eroded from ALL sides.
Why is this not being addressed?
New,
Its all important and should all be looked at and addressed. The airline industry is changing at an revolutionary vice an evolutionary rate.
Our contract, specifically the Scope section, has not kept up with industry changes and is clearly inadequate in providing the protections for the DAL pilots that it was intended to provide.
Too many loopholes, exceptions, or just plain "That is not a Scope violation." We need to tighten it up in all regards. DCI, Code sharing, Joint Ventures are all important. If the ticket says Delta than we as Delta Pilots have a vested interest in what pilot group is doing the flying.
