There's never not going to be an attempt to further loosen scope. They'll always try it seems. The hilarious thing is that they're offering to park 50s they can't staff anyway and want to park anyway, in exchange for true mainline replacing/threatening DC-9-10 replacement jets, of which they already have WAY too many of.
Hopefully we don't fall for it anymore.
FWIW I don't mind the SSP and a pathway to mainline, even an aggressive one. Maybe this is the market/timing to build on something like that not only without lowering the bar at DCI but continuing to raise it. Hopefully the compensation required to attract and retain pilots will become permanent parts of your CBA rather than a band aid "bonus" program.
