I’ve mentioned this before, but it seems that we have been losing ground on our Scope clause for years. Every contract that came out ALPA would say, “This Scope clause is rock solid.” Then the company would find a legal way around it every time. I don’t remember all the instances, but I do remember this one. Remember when: ASA was going to get 5 737 aircraft, but instead got the 146’s instead? Since several of them were configured for 88 seats, ASA just painted a couple of them all white while they were being our connection carrier. I know it was a long time ago, but it still happened. I wonder how long it will be before ALPA allows 100 seaters since the 50 seaters didn’t survive economically. When ASA was going to get those bigger Embraer aircraft, the company said they couldn’t allow the mainline to fly them because it was too costly, even though ASA rates were $2.00 more per hour. But hey, I have to remember that Bar said that “I’ve got mine, so what do I care?” Bar I’m just giving you a bad time in fun.
