That's why we have to change the way our union sees scope.
Scope should be about PILOTS not airplanes. ALPA should represent PILOTS and not distinguish, which airline operates them or finances them.
Compass pilots could, and should, have Delta seniority numbers if flying Delta passengers. I don't care who owns the airplanes. If Compass picks up a deal flying for United, then that flight should be flown by a United pilot, etc ... .
