Make up for the mistakes of past "leaders" giving up scope, enough is enough.
Wasn't scope given up because management pushed for it, and pilots caved? Logic tells you that in order to take back what we have already given up, which is now status quo, would require us to have the upper hand.
I'll admit this is the first career-threatening event of my career and I am new to a lot of this. But my understanding is that during a bankruptcy, if it were to happen, we could very well have things forced down our throats that we don't agree to. That seems like a far cry from a situation where we can demand to reign in scope. Which, to my understanding, management fought for to save a few bucks. Again, if scope relief saves them money, then logic tells you that scope restrictions cost them money. And this would all be argued in bankruptcy court, if it gets to that point. Not to mention that if the judge was appointed in the last three years, they most likely do not have a favorable view of union workers.
