I am all for Carl getting that raise too. I am concerned that we will get proffered a deal that gives us SWA plus rates but we lose scope protections. I know that I would vote no, as most on this board, however, there are a lot of old, senior pilots here that I am afraid would silently vote yes in order to get as much money before retiring and thus pulling up the ladder.

I know that everyone says they are for scope, not going to give an inch, but when it comes down to it, I haven't run across any pilot that actually voted yes for our absolute POS bankruptcy contract at NWA. No-one.
I'm concerned about this too. But shouldn't the MEC prevent a contract with scope givebacks from even reaching MEMRAT? They might have to prevent us from hurting ourselves. Hopefully it's becoming more and more obvious that RJs are NOT good for Delta nor the Delta pilots. The question is whether the MEC's point of view on this issue has changed enough that scope goes near the top of their list.
