The future is obvious if you look at the last 15 years and the changes that have happened to scope.
Yes, anything can happen in the future. How about we negotiate for a higher block hour ratio, and a lowering of the 450 total aircraft cap? Isn't that possible too?

I disagree with your last sentence. The last 15 years has included 9-11 and bankruptcy. Don't you think those 2 things shaped the industry for the worse the last 12 years? Unless something similar happens, I do not see us caving on scope. I do not think we have this time.

You said you were worried about retaining your job because of scope, well this TA brings block hours back to mainline and removes block hours from DCI thereby protecting mainline jobs and possibly/likely bringing more jobs along with it while also eliminating approx. 1500 DCI pilot positions.

The line has been held at 76 seats.
