I see what you are saying, but the issue arises that you (assuming the divesture occurs...if it does not this is void) would no longer be employed by American Airlines, so your contract would be with American Eagle and not American Airlines. Scope is not something that can be easily forced upon another entity. Your scope would protect you from things American Eagle might do, but it would be a lot harder to have a judge enforce your scope with American. The waters get pretty muddy, and I can ensure you that their lawyers have already looked into the details.
I should add that the CPA that American Eagle gets with American will define the "scope" of the agreement. Unfortunately, the pilots will have no say in this.
