One hour of pacific = 2 captain hours. One hour of Atlantic is 1 captain hour. Scope is about protecting pilot jobs at Delta Air Lines. Giving away an hour of 4 pilot ops for an hour of 3 pilot ops is a HUGE loss if the agreement is written that way. We need the final language before getting too deep into debating the merits of scope. I'm all for having flexibility in fleet deployment that helps maximize profits as long as it protects Delta Captain jobs in the process.
Better tell the new town crier Trip7 that. The rosy world of getting hired at the beginning of the wave and NB A seem to make him think he should run to all the SM sites and decree what a great deal this is. $ can make one do shady things.
