There is a lot of truth in what you say. I don't hold scope necessarily as the litmus test of pass/fail on this contract however. And before everyone gets their panties in a twist, I am not in favor of giving any on scope.. but I am not necessarily opposed to certain conditions for it as I have said before. For example (and this is only a what if): Would you be opposed to allowing the 76 seaters to go to 80 seats if all the 50 seaters were to be removed from the inventory immediately upon signing, a reduction of those 80 seaters from 255 to 200 and a signed purchase of a 100 seat airframe that would go to mainline? I don't know if I would say no to something like that. I could come up with more too, but I think you might get my drift. I guess what I am saying is that I am not a one issue no voter, and I doubt that there truly are many out there that are... I could be wrong though.

I have no idea what you mean by telescope.

Again.. fire away.
