I will try not to post with equal condescension. I think we can all connect the dots on things that have happened, a fairly mean feat. Let's try to digest the reality of the situation going forward. If the merger occurs, there will be a time (hopefully sooner than later) when a joint CBA is negotiated. It appears that you feel you have the leverage to compel a more restrictive scope clause in that process. You will have your work cut out for you trying to convince the UAL pilots and management to go with the CAL scope language. Think of all the trite sayings that apply here; Genie out of bottle, toothpaste back in tube, bell already rung, etc.


It is doubtful that you have the leverage you perceive, I guess we'll find out. Good luck.

Of course this is just the opinion of someone with 3 posts not 603, so validity is obviously questionable.
