Here's what the current contract says about scope:

B. Scope

1. All fl ying in and for the scheduled revenue passenger service of the Company
and any wet lease or charter fl ying presently performed or to be performed in
the future by the Company, shall be performed by active Pilots on the Trans
States Airlines Pilots’ Seniority List and shall be fl own in accordance with all
of the provisions of the Employment agreement and applicable amendments
thereto between the Company and the Pilots as represented by the Air Line
Pilots Association, International (AFL CIO).

2. Notwithstanding paragraph B.l. above, the Company may assign or contract
out fl ying for periods not in excess of ninety (90) days if such conduct is
necessary to accomplish the needs of the service of the Company, and the
Company does not have suffi cient aircraft or pilots available to perform the
fl ying assigned or contracted out and no company pilot is furloughed as a result
of such contracting out of such fl ying.


The simpler answer to your question is "not enough". Like I said earlier, we have been fighting for a better contract for the last 3 years since it's been amendable.
