Sat;

I get the feeling from the pilots in charge of the boat that scope is not for sale.

Yes, there are many guys that give two hoots about you. That is your problem. They want to get as much as they can from this job. I do not blame them, they have been screwed. I do not care what they get, as along as it does not come in the form of scope sale.
I could say more but I will not. It is pointless. The point is that, I fly when these guys too, and they are uninformed.

The issue is that we need to realize that these jets can be flown here at mainline. It is not using bargaining capital for jets that are below us, it is making sure there are enough seats on property for those senior guys to stay senior. That is how I frame this argument to them! That is fact.

If we keep whittling away the bottom, before too long the top and the bottom will meet. Those with less than 10 years left just want money. I get that, the problem is that selling scope may very well effect them as well. They just do not see it. Thank god our reps see that. I know for fact the guys in 20, 44 and 66 do!
