Easy to criticize scope when times are good.

We hedged our bets. Plain and simple. Lock it up while we can because like others said you can’t reclaim scope. See United fighting tooth and nail for 76-seaters and Kirby is literally telling them NO WAY.

I don’t care what our business model is today. It won’t be the same in 10 years.

Some of you military folks who have never been affected by an economic downturn or regional rat race will probably never understand. But go talk to the Airways and Delta guys and ask them how it feels to be furloughed while you see brand new 76-seat airplanes be delivered to a wholly owned or worse a non union airline. Your option? Go work for $30/hr there.

Some of you have such thick skulls I wonder how you even absorb information at all.

So we can revisit this thread in years if history calls for it, but if our scope somehow saves your job and your house and feeds your kids, you can thank that MEC and pilots who realized how important it really is/was.

We can argue the merits of the rest of contract until we are blue in the face, but Section 1 will ALWAYS be a non-starter.
