The brilliance of the scope section of our contract is that it is front loaded in the Delta pilots favor, if DAL can't comply, then they can't get more 76-seat aircraft, but all the other scope bennies, such as reducing the number of possible 76-seat aircraft, elimination of turboprop exemption, tightened domestic and international code share, global JV protections, improved furlough protection are still in our contract. Plus we get improved pay, sick leave, reserve pay etc.
C2K's fleet restrictions and block hour ratios were violated within 60 days of ratification and subsequently conceded in management's favor. (went from 34% to 50%)Originally Posted by 76drvr
What was the instantaneous C2K scope violation you refer too?The brilliance of the scope section of our contract is that it is front loaded in the Delta pilots favor, if DAL can't comply, then they can't get more 76-seat aircraft, but all the other scope bennies, such as reducing the number of possible 76-seat aircraft, elimination of turboprop exemption, tightened domestic and international code share, global JV protections, improved furlough protection are still in our contract.

The instant problem was the DCI order for 500 jets prior to C2K. To maintain the ratios, mainline would have had to grow by 100% to remain in compliance with the arriving RJ's. Did anyone really think mainline was getting another 700 jets while DCI was getting 500 for a total fleet of around 2,100? It was nonsense and of course as a job protection device C2K scope failed immediately.

The Cincinnati Enquirer .... Comair and Atlantic Southeast Airlines, the Delta Connection carriers, Wednesday announced the largest regional jet order in history for up to 500 aircraft in the next decade.
That is the problem with the tail wagging the dog. Delta mainline is forced to adjust to what is going on at DCI rather than being able to manage their business to make a profit.Thursday, March 30, 2000

Would be better for management if we insourced that flying at did it ourselves.
