Giving scope AWAY is ... well, ABSURD. Unless you are already FIGMO. I am not. Therefore it is absurd. I'm pretty sure the MEC was not given marching orders by the surveys to give away 4% JV compliance, so WHY why why? And, yes, this one IS a high dollar item, very high, to all the pilots except the FIGMO ones, because it's a lot of money to NOT get the next upgrade. Yes, a pay raise is good, and yes it's a calculation, but WHY would our MEC put us in this position DURING THIS BEST-OF-A-CAREER environment???
