That was half sarcasm that needs to be read in context to the comment I was replying to. The poster said, "we're not going to be successful if we start trying to insist that FedEx buys aircraft they don't need or fly half-full aircraft on non-profitable routes because we "deserve" to be moving that freight no matter what..."

I was just responding that management has already proven that the aircraft they "need" to be successful in operating profitable routes exist. His point is half true. This next TA needs to start reversing the ability for management to unilaterally outsource pilot jobs. I'm surprised, but shouldn't be by this point, that not more pilots are howling at the fact that our scope allows management to use ASL with absolutely no restrictions. Yes, I am a one issue voter. I'll read scope and if it's not a dramatic improvement, I'll stop. If its good, I'll continue reading and hope I don't find too many landmines to blow it up anyway.
