I won't argue that in recent times MGT has been successful in circumventing SCOPE language in many contracts but mostly it has been through declaring Bankruptcy.
If you truely believe in what you say ask yourself why most Airline MGT's fight so hard to keep from giving SCOPE clauses to the Pilots?
Also do you really think things would be better today if there weren't ANY SCOPE clauses?
Idiotic? Maybe, but true. Add the no furlough clauses to the list as well. Who cares if it is being circumvented due to bankruptcy, the fact is that it's happening. So, what do we do next? The P-51 was a great airplane and we may all have been speaking German without it, but it doesn't mean I want to take it into N.Korea if the war starts tomorrow. Using your argument, they should still be in service today.
