On the survey I indicated that the single most important contractual change that absolutely had to be accomplished was the redaction of every bit of Horizon Q400 scope immunity from Section 1.

When we first saw that language in the then newly minted TA I was certain a merger with Alaska was imminent. Now nearly 5 years later management has had ample time to get off the pot. If we're going to continue to offer management the concession of scope relief for some 100 Q400's flown by Horizon in the event of a merger with ALK I want something very big for it. That's too much flying of too many routes by too many non mainline pilots.

Hello??
