And if you think the NMB will give us that authority, you should really start listening to what the people that actually TALK to the NMB are saying about how they view this TA
It applies in the fact that they are willing to strike for Scope. I guess we are not if we vote yes to this JCBA!
Yes you are correct that our jobs have been outsourced. So the question is, why do we UAL pilots have to compromise on our work rules to get closer to CAL's work rules but the Company didn't have to compromise and give us some scope that is somehwere in between CAL's (NO RJ's over 50 seats) and UAL's (some RJ's but limited to 70 seats)?
Instead we got more RJ's certificated to 90 seats but configured to 76 seats. I'd rather have our current scope that limits the 70 seats to the current L-UAL block hours!
You state that "
