Actually scope is the only area of Ch11 where scope is off the table...unless the APA falls for the myth of "bargaining credits" and wants to trade their jobs for a cookie they will never get.
1113c can't touch scope. It can only shred the other areas of a CBA. The pilots have to willingly give up scope in a flailing attempt to salvage value in toe other sections of their CBA that the courts can cut. There will be no forced growth to the regionals, only that which is freely given up.
