Bingo......
Next to SCOPE, I was gleaming the same thing that you pointed out above. I honestly believe that as time goes on (and by way of this survey), the JNC feels some
deep motivation to get
something out by way of "
just producing a YES vote"....IE something
just enough to push a 'hair-line majority', nothing industry leading/encompassing to protect mainline flying both on the regional side & JV/Overseas flying.
The point I was attempting to make in the O.P. was that all this questions asking about Profit Sharing, Stock Options, Stock Grants, Pay Scales, yada yada yada are
pointless if SCOPE is not held miles North of paramount. If they are going to 'worry' about the above mentioned items in any JCBA, then SCOPE best have ALREADY been 'locked-up' in iron-clad form.
GOOD to hear others drove home the point on SCOPE in the comments section at the end. The LAST thing we need as a combine carrier is to have 'tunnel vision' soley on the hourly-quan/profit sharing/stock options.....you kind of have to be on property with a
J-O-B to collect.....thus, full circle back to the idea of SCOPE.
I know this has been beaten to death & back........Paranoid?? D*mn straight.
