Am I looking at this the wrong way?

I’d invite you to look at the risks given the wording, the extent scope is being given away, and the union’s ability to take back said scope...
Your take on ALPA having any control over NEA are contradictory. If ALPA is unable to “quash” the NEA now, when it is only a few months underway, and the company is clearly - and by their own admission - in violation of our CBA, then none of us should expect ALPA to have any tooth to stop NEA five years from now, regardless of the violations racked up in the meantime.
