Here's what you're missing: It won't be characterized as a scope sale. It will be sold as something else - just like the last one. Remember? We couldn't fight it because "the lawyers said we shouldn't." We settled without even fighting, then our reps denied that it was a scope sale.

I believe that right now, the highest priority among the ALPA inner sanctum is how to craft the talking points to make the next scope sale sound like anything else. That is ALPA national's highest priority...make no mistake about it.
