OK - Now here is my wise (or Wise-A$$) thought of the week.
If your boat has two leaks, fixing one is usually not a valid solution.
Finally, my advice to all who put a lot of effort and hard work into our contract - How about you pay attention to the whole thing!

PS - This is not meant to be a slam against 54 - Hell, at least they mention Scope, but is meant to point out what surely must be an ALPA talking point.
Right on Scoop!
I find it just as offensive when issues are discussed
in an either/or kind of way, like the thinly veiled threat re more evenly distributing the LAX redeye flying...You know what I'm talking about...
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the Council 54 guys are on board with tightening scope across the board, at least thats the impression I got from the Council 54 update. The key sentence is
What’s good for Delta the corporation might not be good for Delta pilots.
The sad thing is there are some, but not too many involved on the LEC and MEC level really are able to speak in a way about scope, pay or work rules that makes me have full and unequivocal confidence in the course being charted.
I fully understand compromise. but compromise requires both parties of the deal to converge somewhere in the middle to find common ground.
At times I get the impression we have already reduced our starting point from what is nearly reasonable to what is reasonable then we settle on something a little less than that...
Id like that impression to change, I really do!
