Bar, I know scope is near and dear to your heart. I also know you try to give ALPA the benefit of the doubt always working hard to give "fair and balanced" accounts of how they really are the best for our pilot group. What I don't understand is how you could trust ALPA with scope given their penchant for selling it in recent years? You know, the old fox in the hen house thing....they just cant seem to help themselves. Its like an addiction.

Think about it....we keep hearing about "opportunity to open the contract early and make gains based upon xyz information" (the exact same message now being parroted by managment which is more than a coincidence) . The sterilized opening document presented to us had a cryptic message about scope that was pretty much meaningless. It could have said something worthwhile if the intent was to RECAPTURE scope but it did not. The things you pointed out in your last post, if true, don't bode will for the bottom half of this pilot group. Sorry, it appears we may be going down the same path traveled repeatedly the past ten years.... letting our representation upsell us on the amazing benefits of cutting our own throats for this limited time offer only!
