Shoulda, woulda, coulda.... I’m well aware of the importance of not only scope but many sections of our contract that need improvements. My point is this, if you hold both the current AS scope clause and the former VX scope clause in each hand, what have you got? Exactly nothing. Some ex VX have turned the lack of scope into an AS only issue, never acknowledging that they themselves did not have any and brought none with them. Saying “we surly were gonna vote some in”. The division isn’t in my remembering that neither group is able to stack their contract against the other, it’s in the finger pointing done by some, blaming only AS pilots for the lack of scope. I can just as easily assume that with all the hiring done between 2012 and 2017, we at AS were, “surly gonna vote some in”. In the interest of unity, yes, let’s all vote in some scope protections.
