Forget scope grandfathering. Scope recapture 51 seats and up, period. That by the way is a generous compromise. SWA scope is mere LCC parity so continued 50 and under scope relief is extremely gracious and generous. They pay whatever penalties they negotiated to pay, but most of which are merely us taking over the leases, which we are paying for 100% anyway. Any additional penalties are chicken scratch compared to that anyway. No grace period, no phaseout. Scope relief is a 4 to 5 year loan not a permanant ACMI bidfest. Meet and confer with the MEC's now and get it over with.

Not to mention this type of short sighted no talent middle management garbage is trashing our airline from the top down, bottom up and inside out. SWA hate aside, I hope they dominate us in the eyes of the consumer on any and every outsourced route.
