I have been very encouraged by the pilots I have talked to. All of them see scope as crucial to any long term contractual gains.
While I think scope is paramount in the next contract, I think we need to get alot better about actually enforcing what's in the contract. I feel like we are always the side of that table that works/negotiates in good faith which is rarely ever reciprocated during tense contract negotiations.

Seems like the pilot group is always on the short end of the stick when contract interpretation comes up.

If I understand it correctly, as far as the Republic discussion goes, it does not violate our scope restrictions because Republic is considered a holding company and not considered as single-carrier status?
