I get upset when a scope problem is solved with a small pay increase. A union should never "sell" jobs.

I view this Narita dust up like a divorced couple who are arguing over alimony when they suddenly see their kid about to get hit by a car. They forget their disagreement and run out in the road to grab the kid, working together to minimize harm. That's kind of where we are. An economic truck is aimed right for one of our children.
Good post.
But I find myself asking why we are always faced with giving up jobs.
Is there a fundamental long term problem here that "scope" can't solve?

Is it no longer profitable for Delta Air Lines to fly passengers in airplanes?
Is outsourcing all of our flying really management's ultimate goal?

Regarding the economic truck, I would alter the scenario somewhat.
The truck is about to drive off with a bag of money. Management wants us to jump out in front of it along with them to try and stop it. But then they get to keep all the money.
