They have lost their retirement (or could) and have seen their pay decrease over 40 percent. It would be noble but not in their best interest.
Um, Delta, Airways, and UAL bankruptcies are long done. American is now out. While in many cases pensions were decimated I don't recall scope being something targeted during bankruptcy proceedings. But since then I believe recent Delta and UAL CBA's have tightened scope, depending on one's interpretation.
Am I missing something?
