Because the contract literally has zero scope language it only benefits the company to keep it that way. If they're going to give in on scope, they're going to want something else in return. It's reality.
arbitrators were never going to give scope as they don't want to limit a company's business plan, but it does not set any kind of precedence for negotiating scope. AAG has always won on scope because this pilot group was WEAK. That has to change. There is zero reason we can achieve scope, and a quality contract. If we fail it's our fault and no one else.
