I am thinking that is a non starter too, but I can see them asking for 255 with no 3 for 1. Just a guess at the next request.
I know you feel the same way, but count me firmly in the "Not one more seat, pound, or aircraft" crowd.
I will vote a big, loud NO and will be first to scream for a recall of any rep that pushes a contract involving ANY scope concessions . We are on the concessionary contract now. There is absolutely no reason we should even consider a contract with anything relaxed in Section 1 in the "restoration" contract
.
There should be no givebacks period on the next contract. Every pilot group has given and given. It's time to stop the bleeding - and maybe get back some of what this career was. No concessions - restore pay and work rules!
As you guys have pointed out many times, we really need to push for inclusive scope. That will go a long way to closing loopholes. I'd also like to see some language prohibiting a RAH type scope dodge, by merely operating different certificates.
