I think you misunderstood what I'm saying. I agree we should have a tighter scope clause for our international flying. We don't however, and if you accept the TA then we get our international FDA in Europe and possibly a larger base in Hong Kong. Scope isn't hurt. Fight the battle next time after the company is fully invested in our international pilot domiciles.

If we don't accept the TA we have a credible threat to our international flying that we can't fight because of our lack of scope.

Same idea, just looking at it thru different glasses.
