Scope was never going to back to 50 seats without a full blown strike in my opinion. It sucks 100%, but most mainline pilots gave that up years ago and that genie wasn't going back in the bottle. At least at the following anyway, Alaska, American, Delta, UAL, and USAIR. I don't know how CAL was able to hold the line when so much of their contract stinks, but kudos to them for holding it.
70 seats was, in my opinion a reasonable new line in the sand along with specific language (tail numbers) limiting their numbers. But, clearly the MEC's don't agree with me. After all, its not like they actually polled us or published their emails and phone numbers for input. Or did they?
All I can do now is vote no.
