There wasn't a single 9E pilot that asked for S3A. Delta did that on their own. Understanding why leads us right back to scope. I see why you'd want to avoid the subject, but scope is the ultimate cause. Wouldn't have passengers being bumped by PS commuters if there weren't thousands of contractors flying Delta passengers. Wouldn't have thousands of contractors without selling scope. I'm not trying to be vindictive, but the degradation of their non-contractual benefits was ultimately their own doing.
