Scope should start by making everyone a delta pilot. That means Comair and Delta Elite or anything owned by Delta that does brand flying. No need to have barriers between your own company.
Followed by recapturing flying aka west coast by immediate termination of Alaska code share and code shares previously mentioned in the thread that Delta pilots should be doing.

A quick look at the contract comparison that was distributed recently illustrates that point sharply. The airline with the worst scope (usair) has the lowest pay of anyone. The airlines with the best scope (fedex, ups, southwest) have the highest pay.
While some may be too ignorant to see that... I'm at least educating all captains that I fly with that the FO's in those fast taxiing clown cars make as much or more than them.

We did a heavy takeoff out of MEX a few weeks ago and our takeoff roll was over 10,000 feet!
