Conceivably you are placing a furlough section in your contract that will have a domino effect on one group above the other ( junior vs senior etc...On The other hand, without full knowledge of where you will be integrated, and if you vote to get rid of SCOPE protections, before the ISL is final, you are rolling the dice with present and future QOL, career expectations or employment. In other words, you could be voting yourself to the street SCOPE is a cornerstone of the pilots at CAL and the pilots i know at UA get it as well. Bottom line, a JCBA first, places everyone's skin in the game and it reflects agreed upon contractural cornerstones of both pilot groups
