Heyas,

Bar's messages are right on.

For some reason, some people have convinced themselves (or have allowed themselves to be convinced), that scope is a lost cause.

I'm going to given them the benefit of the doubt, and say they aren't truly bad people, but are acting on their feeling that if scope IS a lost cause, then it's best to extract some gains for other parts of the seniority list or other parts of the working agreement.

BUT, any give on that would be political suicide, at least at this stage of the game, with a restless pilot group, and a nacient organization waiting in the wings.

So, watch for a change in how the argument is framed.
