To have management think that they can come to any pilot group and ask for scope relief is a complete failure of our unions.
Eric,
couldn't agree with you more....... My LEC Officers know me, our MEC chairman knows me. I try to be very visible on this issue. We have failed on this issue numerous times. I strongly believe that's it's up to all of us to hold our union reps accountable on scope.
If you pick up Avaition Week, on any given week you'll see that the next big push by aircraft manufacturers and management is the 90-120 seat range. We better be prepared as a union, because the battle is rapidly approaching. This issue will be packaged in fear and division and we will be told that the company must have relief on scope to be financially viable. I'm not buying it! We are competitive for the CRJ-900, EMB-190/195 and we must keep this flying at mainline.
