But the senior guys don't care about scope. .. or reserve rules ... or no more 10 hour 3 day trips ... or 14 hour max day .... or more summer vacation which more pilots can hold ..... all of which is the huge disconnect between yes/no voters.
This TA has SOME scope. The scope prevents all the things this company has no intentions of doing in the foreseeable future, which is the only reason the agreed to it. The scope also allows the things the company DOES intend to use, and that's why they required it to be allowed.
Our RJ scope, which the company had no interest in, is gone with a merger with Alaska (we will have negotiated limits, but we will lose the outright ban), so don't get too excited.
Glad the TA has more protections than the PEA, but understand it's not SWA scope and we haven't yet won a permanent victory.
