Talk about an awful argument.

I don't know about you, but before I applied to airlines I researched their scope protections. Since, you know, that is job security and all. You either go to an airline ignorant to your job protections and whine when your contract is used against you, or you go to an airline aware of the deficiencies in your job protection language and work to improve it and hope it doesn't bite you in the rear before it can be improved. The pilot group signed on to that scope clause, and for better or worse they have to live with it. Projecting that on another pilot group that had no hand in maxing out your scope clause is petty and immature.
