This may be stating the obvious for many, but I fly with guys who don’t understand the gigantic hammer that a weak or nonexistent scope clause gives the company. It is the single piece of leverage the pilot group has over the company short of labor action.

We should DEFINITELY be very vigilant here. No scope/weak scope is a no vote for me. Southwest is the example.
I couldn’t agree with you more.

Rates of pay mean NOTHING without airplanes to support them.

Honestly- great post.
