I also believe that if a customer buys a Delta ticket to fly on a Delta airplane, she or he should be served by Delta customer service reps AND Delta crew. I.o.w. the solution to the scope is to have no scope at all but to have the entire crew flying the Delta colors under one umbrella. Really !
F/As at one time were in ALPA. About the time the jumbo jets came along it became obvious with the staffing levels (10 F/As vs. 3 pilots) that they would be in control of ALPA and it would cease to be a union (association) representing pilots.
Is that what you want? A flight attendant as the leader of ALPA? This rates, IMO, as the single worst idea I've seen on this forum!
You've obviously got problems within ALPA, but this is NOT the solution.
