Scope was a non-starter for management.

I wouldn't put to much stock in what anyone posts here with regards to the conduct of MEC members while they are posting anonamously.

That sounds like headway towards regaining ground unless you had it in your last contract.
Find me one DAL-S pilot who got a 17% pay raise. No Delta pilot got that much, more like 3% over the 1.5% already programmed in. The NWA pilots were paid less than the Delta pilots. They were the ones brought up to parity. So yes, that is ironing out the differences. Unless putting everyone on the same pay scale and work rules doesn't meet your definition of ironing out differences.

Maybe snide was the wrong word to use, but definitely uninformed. Or misinformed. The problem is that you are on the outside looking in and trying to make statements without all the facts in front of you. While I'm sure you feel that you do have all the facts straight, you don't. But like most pilots, that fact never stopped any of us before.
