I’ve got news for you, there is no such thing as ‘iron clad’ scope. Southwest is close, though. Along those lines, if we have anything less than Southwest scope, you’d vote no?
I didn’t say anything less and it would be a no but yes Scope is the one section you can read and either decide a NO or read further to see if they earn a yes. The entire contract is moot without scope.

I’m not blind to the fact that the retirement is a big win, the LTD (my second most important requirement) is a big win, and the pay is a big jump although industry lagging with no me too clause. No profit sharing which is industry standard. Scheduling will Concessionary but hopefully industry standard as a body of work with pluses and minuses. That should mean we get everything else industry standard which it is not. Now I’m willing to move past that if they are willlingbto protect our current AND future flying and insure my medical. It looks like they’ve agreed to at least one of those items. We will see scope tomorrow. If it doesn’t protect our growth and outsourcing I wouldn’t even vote for an industry leading compensation package let alone an industry lagging one. But I will vote for an industry lagging one to secure those vital protections. It’s that important.
