If you want to see a picture of the pilot who needs to be convinced that scope is a no concession item on the next TA look in the mirror.
But didn't they do it with a gun to their head?
There are three kinds of guns that get pointed to the heads of pilot unions/groups.
1. Financial calamity that the company created due to poor management. This gun gets sympathy from the pilots.
2. Financial calamity that someone else created due to circumstances beyond our control. This gun gets sympathy from the pilots.
3. Financial calamity affecting their own lot in life due to their age/demographic, or unique issue (scab), they feel "entitled" to help, they in turn appeal to all other pilots to garner sympathy and their vote to provide relief or fix their problem.
