We didn't open scope. Many of the items mentioned in the last few weeks wouldn't be protected under any scope language. We were wet leasing airplanes in 2020, 2021, and 2022. So, why weren't you screaming about scope then?
Think very carefully about your fourth sentence. Have you been to Paris lately? If you haven’t, the ramp is littered with purple-painted 737’s. Many flying routes that just three months ago were flown by FedEx pilots in 757’s. Cabotage, (9th freedom rights), does not apply. These are 7th freedom routes, which totally legal. It’s simply a matter of farming flying out for a cost savings. Now, email your rep and ask for a copy of the UPS international scope language— which was coincidentally (maybe, maybe not), left out of the C2021 contract comparison.
The remakes made by our CEO and CFO are very clear. A goal of DRIVE is to shed costs, thus network 2.0– and the company’s to use more 3rd party lift. What we’re seeing in Europe right now could easily begin happening in Asia.
Tell me gain scope doesn’t matter.
