And why would Smisek be thanking us for the scope deal? It would mean that in order to pattern bargain he would have to put limits on HIS RJ flying.. but he is not worried though, the dysfunction at UCAL is palpable, and he knows that he won't have to worry about any of that for another 4-5 years.

"We will be responsive to the impact of the new Delta TA in our negotiations and will need to adjust our current contract proposal to be competitive with the Delta TA. Our proposal will include significant pay rate increases that are competitive with the new Delta TA, as well as
scope and work rules that are competitive with the new Delta TA and permit us to remain competitive in the airline business."
I can assure you until DAL ALPA got involved our stance was no more big RJ's period. You guys pass this and the NMB will put us on ice for that stance as the 90 seat hull will be overly shown as outsource only. Man I hope that carrot tastes good.
