But from my (our, as in DAL pilots) perspective, if I (DAL pilots) am not doing the flying, that is simply a matter of semantics. Which at the end of the day, yields zero on the seniority list here at Ma Delta. Again, I am really trying hard to follow this, but keep coming up at a loss to 'splain it.

Quite simple,
By keeping the Compass flying "bottled up" with the scope language we had, the company could do NOTHING with Compass until we got more airplanes on the property...specifically aircraft that Compass was designed to replace.
It put the company in a corner.
