Wrong. Management would never elect to recapture Scope. Only DALPA using its leverage can accomplish that.

Wrong again. If that is in our contract, a judge will ensure it is complied with.

Wrong again. A judge will make it painful for management if they don't comply. Just llike all sections of a signed contract. Unless management wants to declare Chapter 11 again.

It's also possible for RJ pilots to be put in the Space Shuttle program. I wouldn't count on it however.

I know that's how you see it. It would benefit people like you the most. People without the qualifications or background to be hired by a major - now you get a back door entrance without interviewing or competing. I understand why you want it. It just won't happen.
