Scope no longer matters to me, but I spent 17 years living under the pressure of whipsaw and scope. Both those things bring down labor costs, real numbers that they work tirelessly at. They don’t care who flies them as long as the person doing it is the absolute cheapest. Economics has worked against them the last few years, now they have an opportunity to reverse that and they’re not going to let it pass without capitalizing on it...even in the midst of crisis, it’s their dna.
