SCOPE restricts management, it does not allow anything. Everything is allowed, unless it is restricted by SCOPE.
That's a really good point. Perhaps ALPA needs proper direction in increasing scope protections tor mainline pilots. i thought We had been doing just that, but maybe message not resonating. Stronger restrictions = stronger scope = stronger union = higher career expectations.
