So, in 10 years we are struggling under this BS contract and unable to negotiate a new one.....and then...........management says (due to circumstances beyond our control) (this is allowed in the TA you know), we are going to reconfigure the RJ's and add seats up to 90 plus seats in them..........then what we gonna do? What's ALPA gonna do? ALPA represents the RJ pilots too ya know. Talk about a conflict of interest.

Meanwhile management drive a battlship through our contract and our scope sectiona and all those yes voters will be saying "no" "no" "this can't be" we were promised this, and that." But,.......read the fine print.............read it again.

It's in there. Management is: 1. Not bound by this scope language due to the get out jail free cards contained in the language with built in loop holes. and 2, there are no penalties for violating the language.

Asssume that any grievances or issues occuring under this "TA" will be decided by a republican NMB or republican courts, who are management friendly and not labor friendly.

End of the day.......90 plus seat RJ's will be flying the lions share of the domestic market and UAL pilots will have little forward progression in the career path with continued downward pressure being placed on earning potential.

Management wins again.

Thanks Zullo.............you bite.
