Bar and I have the same ultimate goal in mind, I have never quarreled with that. My only beef is that he feels that scope was changed as some sort of conspiracy by senior pilots to screw the junior pilots. I see it as an industry came unraveled for a decade after 9/11, we were scrambling to try to hold onto whatever we could. Scope was just one other section that got creamed in the aftermath along with pay, pension (which affected senior pilots more), and well everything else.

ALPA worked to try to facilitate consolidation as we saw that as the ticket to a more stable industry that could support a much higher level of pay, pension, and well everything else than we currently enjoy. I believe that outsourcing is bad for the pilots and bad for the company. Unlike some, I realize that getting out of this mess will be very difficult. ALPA should try to facilitate that transition rather than be sand in the gears.
