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.
I think the clinking noise I hear is the "scope can" being kicked down the street hard.
Ok, I guess you are comfortable with supporting the "we are memorializing the flying" approach, all while agreeing that the flying isn't ours until we get a scope clause....???
Just wondering, isn't the HKG flying already memorialized after 3 years of FEDEX ALPA pilots flying it?
...and are you retiring within the next 5 years?
I'm just trying to understand the logic and the timeline.
