I am guessing that you also have the luxury to be a one issue no voter because you have time to make up for the losses that will probably be occurring if it is scope or nope. There are many that have been under a BK contract for what should have been their prime earning years in their career. I am about to enter mine. For the Carl's and others in his situation, and I am guessing here.. but I would bet that they are not willing to pay for a recapture of the 76 seat flying... just a guess.. and frankly, I don't blame them. You can look at that as "selling out the junior guys", but how about looking at it from their perspective? They would be recapturing flying that cannot increase unless the airline grows (and as I have said, that language IS weak.. and should be fixed) and it would be costing them even MORE money. Younger guys on the other hand would have that paid for scope issue, AND a longer time to recapture the pay that the old guys would be foregoing. Talk about altruistic! Balance guys... it is all about balance.
