Scope relief isn't on the table, it's the assessed dollar amount that is. If the judge had abrogated your contract like he did ours, he would have had to assign a dollar amount to the 76 seat jets and taken that money out of the rest of the contract keeping scope intact. There is no legal basis for a company saying that scope relief is paramount to the company reorganization plan and a larger dollar amount isn't.

Please post the SEC filings that show "money from regional growth", "stock sales" and "other miscellaneous proceeds" being "sent" to the Northwest pilot pension plan. I'll wait.

Caving in on Scope started decades ago. Now pay close attention to this: decades ago, the NWA pilot pension plan was so OVERFUNDED, that NWA management went to court and won the ability to take the overfunded portion for themselves. They said it was their money and not the pilots. A judge agreed. Now here's a question you must ask yourself and your supposed family: Why would an overfunded pension need a Scope cave-in to save itself from being overfunded?

So are you saying that NWA management took the over-funded pension plan money and gave it to themselves? That's illegal. Or is it because by law you have to report over-funded pensions as taxable income?

You working for less funds your personal financial circumstances because you're apparently unhireable by a major. You've decided to take it out on the pilots of the majors. I've always wondered why some of the RJ lifers spewed this kind of divisive hate to the new RJ pilots. I still don't know the answer to that, but it's interesting to know that I'm speaking to one.
