Ah, the double edged sword. If that's what the pilots want, and mind you it'd be the senior pilots who say it, then is that what you give them? A scope sale? But if you say no and it really was what they wanted, then where else might you deviate from what the pilot group wants?

BTW, just mention retirement healthcare benefits isn't critical to your stage in life. No wait, better yet, AF/KLM and Alaska scope giveaways don't matter to you either. Something just to goad them.
