Amazing "logic". If we had SWA's scope, they might change direction on ALL international flying and send a ton of guys out the door. This concern coming from an international captain. So to keep that from happening, we need to keep our current pathetic scope that allows all this outsourcing.
Sad to say it, but I think this is an example that some of the junior guys talk about regarding a senior wide body captain just caring about his pay increase and status - even at the expense of scope. They don't want to come out and say that they care more about their pay increases than scope, so they instead produce this tortured logic about strong scope causing guys to be thrown out.
