One of the many problems with using scope as a remote to control ANOTHER airline's flying is that it makes the controlling MEC (ALPA) responsible for the decision.

For instance - Northwest did not want NWA funds used to purchase RJ's. So they used their contractual scope to try to steer the flying awards to non owned carriers. Delta did sort of the same thing. The problem for Comair and ASA pilots is that their union was used to steer flying to SkyWest, Republic and other non union, non owned, carriers. That MAY BE illegal and it certainly isn't in keeping with what's best for our profession.

Delta Pay Soon - are you thinking "discrimination" in sense of the 1964 Civil Rights Act? I'm talking discrimination as it refers to ALPA's duty to its members.
