If your referring the "last golden" egg in the POS CAL contract....SCOPE.....you better bet that this will be the fight of all fights if the company wants otherwise.

If there is one thing that we have left that is considered "industry leading", that would be Scope constraints and clauses in place under POS '02. There have been other Legacy carriers that have negotiated/bent/or relieved their prior Scope outlines, and we've seen on the whole, this is NOT a good thing for the most part in protecting mainline flying positions.

Just last year, CAL's Mgt came forth to the MEC and presented a JVF (Joint Venture Flying) proposal in which one of Mgt's "major wants" was some scale of Scope relief.....the last golden egg that the CAL pilot hold in the labor agreement. One of the better moves that our MEC has executed thus far was to tell Mgt "Thanks, but no thanks".

So Yes...I among many other pilots believe that CAL's Scope agreement can be fought for and kept, if not, we have seen the ugly foreshadowing of what could come if compromised otherwise.
