Is there any possibility that the PB day threat is a distraction on scope?

Between this leak, and a rumor from a union member, the global scope agreement is to basically have no scope on international flying. In exchange we’ll have some mechanism that a certain number of pilots will be paid as widebody pilots depending on the number of widebody pilots at peers.

Isn’t this just a mechanism to shrink our pilot group? If all of our international flying can be outsourced how many pilots can we eliminate when the 767s get parked?

PB days and GS on reserve will no doubt be potential NO vote issues for me but I’m wondering if we’re being distracted from the scope stuff. They’ll keep us focused on PB days then give it back while pulling one on us on scope.
