I understand that we will have to compromise but concessions, really?

Really important point there Scoop, and it's the hallmark of Ford & Harrison. They don't just push for concessions blindly. They push for strategic concessions. Specifically, concessions that divide the pilot group. B scales are an example but so is selling out our bottom half by giving away low end scope and this new bottom half sellout with F/O's bidding with LCA's.
Ford & Harrison operatives have an extremely low opinion of airline pilots. They view us as utterly self-interested and willing to make a gain on the back of a brother pilot. When we find a way to justify accepting these kind of strategic divisive concessions, we prove them right. Think really damn hard about the concessions you accept.
