If they start a pull down, it will be because of a catastrophic event. That will be the trigger to renegotiate the balance of flying.

With the precedent of Moak giving away scope outside of section 6 or negotiating early at any time, we are never really protected. You can apply the same logic to widebody JV scope. If they need to do it, they will. They will answer to the grievance when they are ready to renegotiate. This is more about trust, respect for the pilots and respect for the agreement. They have proven there is little respect for either, hence no trust.
