The poison pill change was nice. But I bet that any company with enough money and lawyers can dismantle a scope clause. Scope clauses remind me of Delta's infamous Force Majeure clause. Lot of good that did.
If you believe this then you must be smarter than a bunch of high powered Washington lawyers. It was not tied to the parent company, by concensus of a bunch of the above mentioned legal minds.
Secondly, one of the most significant things in the new scope clause is the arbitration clause. Our chances are a lot better in front of an arbitrator than getting us tied up in court for years. Tie this to the other language that we can unilaterally (sp) dismiss arbitrators then there is actually light at the end of the tunnel.
All this said, the company will look at the dollars and if it is worth it to go after our scope then they will do it. Now, it will just cost them more dollars, which I read as less incentive to do it.
