Ok, I can understand having weaker work rules and scheduling because the majority live in base and drive to work. But thats still no reason for not having scope. As the guy above said, the last contract was all about $200/hr and that was obtained as 12th yr CA pay at 2013 contract signing. The clock out guys got what they wanted. It was insulting to read the JCBA arbitrator comments on scope, but even they acknowledged that AS pilots never pushed for scope and management mentioned in the transcripts that scope came up only momentarily, but the pilots prioritized higher pay instead and the company went with it.

But hey, if you’re retiring in less than 5-7 yrs, so who cares about scope right?
