Well, I know the result, but the actual motivation for management was to break the union via Pierce to get us to throw away our scope clause. We got to keep the scope clause because the 147 allowed themselves to be sacrificed. Once management figured the MEC couldn't be bought with a 2 percent pay raise in exchange for gutting the scope clause plans were made in short order for the company to bring them back. CAL management wanted to do to CAL pilots what UAL management did to them and send the domestic flying to express jet. I guess it depends on your point of view, but that's how I view it. I believe that summer I had 9 junior manning trips, and that was the most I'd ever flown since back in the early 90's over a summer.
