DING DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!

Scott is intensely political. He takes pleasure from pitting groups against each other, kind of like instigating a dog fight. Scott wants to get the pilot group thinking the sky is falling so that they go to ALPA and demand concessions. Which of course, they won't do, but it creates them a huge headache. It's no coincidence that ALPA is having elections right now. This is Scott throwing a monkey wrench into the works.

Of course, if asked, he'll just smile and say "hey, I just want to keep you guys informed. Things are bad, and we need to control costs". That's code for taking concessions. He doesn't even want concessions for the good of the company. Scott is a mercenary (he actually told me this once), he said he's "a hired gun" who does whatever they pay him to do. I guarantee he has no plans to retire from ASA management. He probably has something else lined up at every moment. He was hired by the "old" management to stick it to the union. That's what he does. Scott wants concessions to make ALPA look bad, pure and simple. Scott is a true union buster, and that's why they keep him around. SKW would like nothing more than to see our union weakened. Whipping up the pilot group into a frenzy, thinking that "the Titanic is sinking and ALPA is fiddling on the deck" is the best weapon he has against them. Hence the emails.
