This whole mainline Pilots sold Scope for pay raises like Dick Dastardly snickering away in some back room deal is pretty foolish. Management took mainline Pilots to the cleaners - I'm sticking with ignorance and naivete.

You keep bringing up how mainline Pilots traded away Scope but don't forget we also traded away our pensions, our 6th and 7th week of vacation, LOT bidding etc, in other words most of that stuff was outright taken.

I completely agree that I am Monday-morning quarterbacking. That doesn't make what I'm saying about the sold scope incorrect. If the quarterback makes a mistake, he should own it and make sure not to make it again. Blaming the rest of the offense for his mistake is childish.
