The strange thing about this one Korean flight from Japan to Honolulu, is that about 2-3 months ago, ALPA and the company discovered a JV issue with Aeromexico on a MEX-LAX flight that originally had an Aeromexico 787 on it. It was swapped to a Delta 320 by the company to ensure the violation didn't occur. So why hasn't this happened on the Korean route?

 

It warms my heart to see the responses of everyone (except one) to the OP. As Scoop said, a violation is a violation. It doesn’t matter how big or small. Frankly any Scope violation is a big deal. If you believe JG’s “story” then you need your head examined.

I also disagree with ERflyer in that I want to know of each Scope violation. His characterization that these are coming everyday is simply not true and even if it were that would mean the company is violating it daily which is even worse!

I guess from my perspective im reading every couple company emails that the union is wrong via email, which the company started back in June (?). I would expect one response email at least from the union for every company one. Is that reasonable? I wouldnt want to go through a month if its multiple emails before i see a worded response. Besides if the company figures out the response timing each month they send one thirty minute prior and we wait more than 30 days for a response.

I dont know why the company is choosing to legislate this over email newsletters but if theyre trying to get arguments in early the arbitrator doesnt do anything for free. More likely the company isnt liking their chances with the arbitrator and theyre looking for a deal so they can yank the arbitration date in hopes of a refund before the confirmation window hits.

 

The company does not believe it’s a violation. A arbitrator is going to decide. Results should be out soon.

 

this is the flaw in your philosophy...you think we should just give SCOPE away, use it for 'greater gains'...there are NO greater gains than scope.

 

the irony is they have even said he's too over the top for them...

 

whereas the previous regimes would not inform the pilots of scope violations and tell the company 'it's ok just don't let it happen again' over and over and over....i'll stick with what this admin is doing.

 

Me on the other hand, I wish the company would quit regularly violating the contract so the union wouldn't have to scream about it on a weekly basis. Call me crazy.

 

Wow. Thats gotta hurt.

 

Every contract cycle we have a few pilots come on social media and attempt to lower pilot expectations.

Trip7 and whoever is writing his posts has sunk to a new low.

Management is returning billions to our shareholders as we speak. They run an air line that goes day after day without canceling a flight.

They are more than capable of complying with the scope they agreed to. They are more than capable of upgrading technology to automatically pay reroute and OE.

Our leaders are laser focused on enforcing our PWA and attaining a C2019 with major gains across the board.

I have zero doubt they will succeed.
