Lets try and keep this in perspective. The caving in on scope you refer to was 6 seats in 19 airframes. It is almost certain the company would within 18 months have been able to do it anyway using Dalpa's numbers. So the Caving is allowing 6 extra seats for a limited period of time. The actual scope language did not change one bit and the company now agrees to our interpretation of that language. Had we gone to arbitration and lost the company would have been allowed additional airframes forever. Instead they get the extra seats for a limited period of time. I really would not call that caving.
