I agree with everything here but there is one huge issue. “Ironclad” is a great word that is only as good as our lawyers make it. Frankly, ours lawyers suck compared to theirs.Originally Posted by freezingflyboy
Most of the younger pilots have been jerked around and played like fools in the regional game for years because of scope. Believe me, us dumb "younger" pilots are intimately familiar with and care PLENTY about scope. Without ironclad scope language (and penalties for violation!), none of the rest of the contract, pay rates, DH language, AE bidding...ANY of it...matters. Of all the rips I give at contract time, the first and biggest is definitely about scope. Somewhere near the bottom, just before I get to "don't really care" is pay rates.Signed,
