I am ABSOLUTELY willing to strike for Scope.
I define pay parity as pay that is the same based on a similar sized aircraft at the majors, or based on the same formulas of gross weight and speed.
I don't believe that #3 would be illegal. If a regional partner that is allowed under our Scope clause were to strike, we could sympathy strike if the membership voted on it and agreed. When the NWA mechanics struck, we were polled to see if we wanted to engage in a sympathy strike. The pilot memebership voted it down.
