Heyas,

Ya know, the more I think about it, the more I realize that ALPA national's involvement in scope is incorrect as it pertains to individual airlines.

Perhaps we should treat scope negotiations like merger negotiations, where National shouldn't take sides, and in fact, recuses itself.

Maybe we should keep our team of ALPA National lawyers and negotiators on board for all of the sections of the contract but one...section 1:Scope.

For this vitally important section, perhaps we should simply retain independent council. It would get everyone off the hook and remove the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Just sayin'
